Starlink Mini 2 is the first Mini with its own battery. The new portable terminal, introduced Nov. 10, adds a quick-swap pack to a thinner, tougher design so it can get online with or without a wall outlet. Preorders are open by invitation for select U.S. customers, with more customers and countries coming soon. Signing in is required to check eligibility.
Introducing Mini 2, the next-generation portable Starlink. Get up to 4.5 hours of connectivity on a single charge with the quick-swap battery, or plug in with USB-C.
With built-in Wi-Fi, all you need is a clear view of the sky to get online in 60 seconds.

— Starlink (@Starlink) November 10, 2026What You Can Do With It
Starlink rates Mini 2 at up to 4.5 hours on a single charge. You can stay online while the 71 Wh battery charges, or swap in a spare Mini 2 battery, sold separately. Power is battery or USB-C at 60 W, and the pack itself can output up to 60 W over USB-C. With a clear view of the sky, Starlink says you can get online in about 60 seconds.
The terminal weighs 1.6 kg with the battery and kickstand and measures 263 × 314 × 23.1 mm (10.35 × 12.36 × 0.91 in). Starlink markets it as 23.1 mm thin. It has Wi-Fi 6 with advertised coverage of up to 1,800 sq. ft. (167 m²), a 110-degree field of view, an IP67 rating and a standard 1/4-20 tripod thread. In the box are the Mini 2, the battery, a kickstand, a USB-C 60 W power supply and a 3 m (10 ft) USB-C cable. The removable battery alone weighs 490 g (1.08 lb).
How It Compares With Mini 1
The original Starlink Mini weighs 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) and measures 298.5 × 259 × 38.5 mm, with no built-in battery; it takes a DC power cable. Mini 2 is about 15 mm thinner and, with the pack installed, about half a kilogram heavier. The official compare chart leaves the Mini 1 battery row blank. Both are rated IP67, and Starlink’s compare chart lists mobile use for both. The official page describes “tougher materials, a redesigned enclosure, and an IP67 rating,” and says the terminal is built to stay connected through rain on the trail, wind on the water and sand at the beach. It also calls the 23.1 mm body compact enough to go anywhere a laptop can.
On the terminal itself, Starlink shows a USB-C port, a battery indicator, a quick-release latch, a power button and the kickstand. The idea is simple: fold it out, point it at the sky, and use it where there is no outlet, then plug in or swap the pack when the charge runs down. Spare batteries are sold separately, so a second pack is the official way to stretch time away from a charger.
Pre-Order and 12 Month Promo
SpaceX is also offering a 12 month optional promotion for $899 USD. You’ll get an includedStarlink Mini 2, alongside a 12-month long Roam Unlimited Contract. 12 months of Roam Unlimited would normally cost $2100 USD, so you’re effectively getting over 50% off, alongside a brand new Mini 2 to use with the program.
Preorders are invitation-only for now, and only for select customers in the United States. Starlink says more customers and countries are coming soon and that you have to sign in to verify eligibility. Deliveries are expected to begin in December.
At this time, other than the pre-order promo, there is no way to purchase the Mini 2 separately.
