How we calculate it

Runtime = capacity (Wh) × 0.85 ÷ 65 W

For a full day you need about 1,840 Wh (1,560 Wh of energy plus inverter losses). Running other devices at the same time? Add them in the runtime calculator.

Tips to run your Starlink longer

  • Turn off snow-melt mode when it's not snowing: heating can push consumption above 100 W.
  • Starlink Standard averages 50–75 W; the Mini uses about 20–40 W and can run from USB-C PD.
  • Run Starlink only when you need it to stretch battery life on multi-day trips.
