Starlink power

Two of these last most of the day while surveying.

I made a bikini sort of setup to strap the Starlink on my pack like a lid.

We also use DeWalt 20v batteries. Other guys use Milwaukees. Amazon has all kinds of setups.

If we are working within 200-300 feet of the 4 wheeler, we use a power cord in the accessory socket.

I used a Goal Zero Sherpa PD paired with a foldable 60W solar panel. With a 12V plug backup for heavy night time use.
The 60W solar setup would out produce what the SL Mini would consume. And I think the battery would run the Mini for a couple hours on its own.
It works great and is TSA approved.

If using a USB-C connection, be sure it is a "PD" or the high wattage output. Not all USB-C connections are created equal. The mini requires higher wattage to run.
I don't really care for most of the power tool battery options due to no battery protection features. But they can work.

Have you checked out the PeakDo power bank? It fits into the mini so it can run as one unit and run time is a little over 4 hrs. Seems to be priced between 120-140. A lot of ppl are going with this right now. There is also the Ravion power bank that is not as small as the Peakdo but it does interlink with the mini pretty nicely as well. Its run time seems to be 7-8 hrs and pricing looks to be about $350. I'm probably gonna go with the peakdo and leave the whole system back at basecamp on a solar charger. If I decide not to spike camp I can make it back at end of day to check in with the family.
