Starlink Mini 2 features a swappable battery

SpaceX has revealed a new iteration of its all-in-one satellite internet terminal, which combines a dish, Wi-Fi router, and a battery into a single unit roughly the size of a laptop. According to users on X who posted screenshots of order invitations, the Starlink Mini 2 is priced at $999, a figure that includes one year of Roam Unlimited service valued by SpaceX at $2,100.

SpaceX claims the Starlink Mini 2 can operate for up to 4.5 hours on a single charge. Users can extend this duration by hot-swapping extra batteries, which will be sold separately, or by attaching the device to a 60W power source via USB-C.

Although it includes an integrated battery, the Starlink Mini 2 dish is thinner than its predecessor. SpaceX has reduced the thickness to 23.1mm, compared to the 38.5mm of the original Mini. While the new model is slightly heavier at approximately 3.5 pounds due to the battery, it retains an IP67 dust- and waterproof rating for outdoor use.

The Starlink website states that preorders are currently open by invitation for select US customers. The company noted that the device is coming soon to a wider range of customers and countries.
