Multiply Starlink’s top average watts for your kit by the hours, then divide by 0.85. A Standard kit running 8 hours needs a station of at least 942 Wh.

Starlink gives each kit’s average power as a range. The sizes use the top of the range, enough for a dish working at Starlink’s highest average. Bluetti uses a lower factor for Starlink on AC, 0.8, so its sizes come out larger.
Running a Mini from DC or USB-C
Starlink rates the Mini’s input at 12 to 48 V, 60 W. With Starlink’s USB-C to Barrel Jack cable, it needs USB PD of at least 100 W, 20 V at 5 A.
Bluetti says powering Starlink straight from a station’s 12 V or 48 V port, with a third-party DC-to-DC kit, can bypass the inverter and raise efficiency to 90% or more.
Common questions
How long will a 1,000 Wh station run a Starlink Standard?
By Jackery's formula, about 8.5 hours at Starlink's top average of 100 W: 1,000 × 0.85 ÷ 100.
Power figures come from Starlink’s spec sheets for each kit; the 0.85 factor from Jackery, EcoFlow and Anker SOLIX, and the 0.8 and DC notes from Bluetti, all read on October 25, 2026. Checked against published data from Starlink, Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX and BLUETTI.
