This is very cool but tbh, I don’t know why @Starlink wouldn’t have had a battery option for this

The cheapest way to get internet off grid using a 20V DeWalt battery and an inverter. The setup: DeWalt 20V battery (the 10 amp hour is the big one, more capacity means longer runtime). DeWalt 20V inverter with AC outlet and DC outputs. Around $70. Starlink Mini for the internet connection. Runtime: Roughly 6 hours of continuous standard internet use per battery. If you're only using internet here and there (checking messages, downloading updates, sending status), that's several days of intermittent use per battery. Speed is as good as you need for anything: video calls, streaming, downloads, everything. If you have DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, or Harbor Freight brand batteries already, they all make inverters like this one. Match the inverter brand to your battery brand for reliability. Spend the little extra on the same brand as your battery. The inverter runs anything with a standard plug (laptops, chargers, small appliances) or USB ports (phones, tablets, portable devices). A few things worth knowing: Lightweight, portable setup. Easy to grab and go. Works in a truck, at a campsite, or during a grid down event. Higher amp hour batteries mean longer runtime. If you're running this often, invest in the largest batteries your ecosystem supports. Starlink Mini uses around 20 to 40 watts depending on load. Much more efficient than earlier Starlink dishes. Real backup communication doesn't have to be expensive. This whole setup costs a fraction of a dedicated portable power station and does everything you need for basic off grid internet.
