I have a portable power bank with a typical 12V "cig adapter" port, a 120V integrated ac port, and a bank of USB ports, one of which is an 80W PD port. I plan on running the power bank on both the USB PD port with an adapter like you got, as well as the included AC adapter to compare the power draw. Offhand I'm guessing the PD port is going to be more efficient since it's not having to power the internal AC inverter, go through the starlink AC adapter back to DC.

You will consume more power going from dc to ac to dc. Also remember the minimum voltage listed is 12 volts. I'm not sure what the actual cutoff is. A 12 volt battery at full charge IA about 12.8 volts. If it shuts off at 12, you won't have much run time.

I can use the main starlink and the mini simultaneously. I'll get back to you on the current draw

Yes. Any data used counts toward the total. In the account settings on the app there is a Toggle to allow additional data charges automatically when you exceed the 50gb.

That is correct

It is

5521 or 5.5mmx2.1mm

It's not for everyone, but it meets our needs. No complaints

@@ANNEBOYD23understand, but I heard “$30/mo” and I knew that was not right.

Yep. I should have said an additional $30. I'm sure they will eventually have the mini available on its own

A couple of issues with that is the Starlink Mini needs slightly over 12 VDC and the typical 12 volt battery static voltage is 12.6 volts. Lastly, with lighter, higher gauge (skinnier) wire...higher voltage is best as to limit the voltage loss for long runs. So, using a up converter is the best (12VDC - 48 VDC) or a PD60-100 USB-C to 5521 Barrel cable). As a few below have mentioned, if you're going to use power tool batteries, do your research on which ones have the low voltage cutoff on the BMS internal to battery pack, not in the tool. Another great reason I love my Ryobi tools :).

I cut a cable off of a 12 volt power supply I had laying around. In my experience, a lot of power bricks that put out 12 volts use the same size barrel plug

Right now its just an extension on existing plans in the U.S. Orher areas with no congestion are allowed to get it as a single plan. I imagine the FCC also would also cause issues if the mini isn't getting the minimum standard of 100mb down 20 mb up.

@@rudolphjnWhy would FCC care?

Performance seems to as good as the larger StarLink

Yep. $1 per each additional gb. We don't use anywhere near 50 typically

I'm posting another video on power consumption. The 9AH Dewalt battery I've been using will last 3 hours

Can you also show me the wiring (wire, terminals, etc) used in the power consumption video? Thanks for posting.

Will do. I just need to make a mount

@@ANNEBOYD23 and video with little more tree coverage to see how it performs

@@ANNEBOYD23 Thats what dash boards are for now that we can't use them as beds for kids...

$599 usd

Directly from Starlink

Right now you can only buy it if space x sends you a link to do so and you already have residential service.

$30 for 50gb and $1 per gb over that

@@ANNEBOYD23 damn it i will buy version2 starlink with 50usd per month

Yes, and yes. They operate independently.

I don't think so

I highly doubt that this mobile dish is POE++ (802.3bt).

No it cannot

$30 for those that already have the standard plan
