Here is SpaceX's new @Starlink Mini 2 with quick-swap battery. You can get up to 4.5 hours of use on a single charge. This means you can get internet in the middle of nowhere and not have to plug anything in.

The one box he should’ve opened.
A dry black-and-white-purple pen-and-ink cartoon. On a porch, a weathered courier in a faded shirt and shorts watches as a man in a doorway lifts a thin white Starlink Mini 2 with a kickstand out of a battered open FedEx box. A white charger and a black cable sit in the box. Small @GRKX70 in the corner.

Tent campers also need an ethernet port due to the necessity of finding a clear spot for the mini. Starlink sells a 50 ft ethernet cable for this reason. Is there an ability to add an external router to the mini 2?

So can I swap my current mini out for this?

I think just a solar panel and small battery pack then you got almost an infinite loop.

Damn that is really nice. Imagine traveling with this and a Macbook. Maybe one small power bank or something and you can literally work in the middle of nowhere for hours 🤯 Love it.

Imagine a future where these are EVERYWHERE, such that no government can meaningfully prevent their people from having access to the worlds information. The need for government will become less and less as technology progresses.

You know what would also be great? A mobile solar panel the same size as a Starlink mini (which I bought and totally endorse!) and small battery that can run off it for up to 12 hours, perhaps about 100,000 milli-amphours? it would be quite a boon to us millions of campers hikers, travelers, caravan-ners etc

They could put solar panels on the back side and make it a sandwich, detachable, so you could pull it out and charge, or just flip it over while not in use to charge.

How do I trade in my Mini 1? I'd LOVE the battery version!

Dammit. I bought a mini last week.

love my current mini but the battery feels kind of niche. if you need it longer than a few hrs you need to plug it in to a car/wall/bigger battery, and your laptop or phone probably needs to be charged too. still, i suppose it would be nice to go work in the wilderness for the afternoon with just a backpack

There’s already a deal you can buy. It’s like 100 bucks. It does the exact same thing on the existing Starlink. And even if this thing goes double as fast, how freaking fast do you really need. I mean, at some point you’re getting diminishing returns

4.5 hours on battery makes it actually portable. That's a big change for travel and fieldwork.

Nice. That's a BIG feature upgrade!

This is missing an important feature. The ethernet port is gone. RV's typically put these on the roof or up high and use an ethernet cable to connect to an interior router, this does not seem to have that ability.

Damn Elon and his companies don’t play. They just keep improving I had to buy an aftermarket battery that’s a pain to interface. This is much better

Was waiting for a battery powered dish. Never sat right with me that you need to plug it in! Particularly if u wanted to use Starlink when your power goes out.

There is one big missed opportunity. No native pins or adapter to use drill batteries as a power source. Especially in the third world those will be way easier to come by than a spare Starlink mini 2nd gen battery.

If the add a screen and keyboard in there, this should be a laptop.

Niiiice. That is my biggest friction with the first mini. I might have to get one of these!!
