The Mini Kit is $149 in the US (Starlink’s order data, checked ), or $12.41/month for 12 months. The service plan is extra. Running it away from a wall outlet adds a battery, and for USB-C, Starlink’s own cable.
What’s in the box
The Mini kit includes the Mini with integrated WiFi, kickstand, pipe adapter and flat mount, 15 m DC power cable, power supply, and Starlink Plug. Official spec: From a Starlink specification sheet or help article The DC cable is 49.2 ft. The power supply in the box plugs into a wall outlet: it’s for AC only.
What the power side adds
What you add depends on how you’ll power it. We don’t print store prices for batteries: they change daily, and the right size matters more than the brand.
| Power path | You add | Runtime it buys (at 40 W) |
|---|---|---|
| Wall outlet / generator | Nothing | As long as there’s AC power |
| USB-C power bank | A 100 W PD power bank and Starlink’s 5 m USB-C cable (USB-C power requires Starlink's own USB-C to Barrel Jack cable accessory (Mini USB-C Cable), sold in the Starlink Shop.) | About 1 h 48 min on a 99 Wh bank |
| Power station | A station with 100 W USB-C or a 12 V port (plus the right cable) | About 9 h 48 min on 512 Wh |
| Car 12 V socket | Starlink’s car adapter (Starlink says the Mini Car Adapter is only available in select markets.) or a correctly sized 12 V cable | While the engine runs; see the car guide |
| Solar | Panels + charge controller + battery | Depends on state and month |
