USB-C PD

Continuous output rating (W): 60 W

Starlink Mini: 32 W · Duty cycle (%): 100% · Efficiency (%): 92% · Reserve kept unused (%): 10%. Runtime is conditional on successful startup, compatible voltage/connectors and sufficient output. Verify the actual device setup before relying on these hours.

Runtime range

These are calculated sensitivity cases, not a statistical confidence interval. Conservative uses lower efficiency and battery health, more reserve/temperature loss and higher load; optimistic changes these assumptions in the opposite direction.

  • Battery capacity (Wh): 497 Wh
  • Device wattage (W): 32 W
  • Duty cycle (%): 100%
  • Output path: USB-C PD
  • Efficiency (%): 92%
  • Reserve kept unused (%): 10%
