EXCERPT:
Starlink Mini is already the version of SpaceX’s internet dish built for on-the-go connectivity. It has found its fans in travelers, campers, vanlifers, and others who live off the grid. But new firmware clues suggest SpaceX may be getting ready to make it even more portable by putting the battery inside the dish itself.
According to a PCMag report, university researcher Jinwei Zhao spotted new Starlink firmware strings that point toward a possible Starlink Mini model with an integrated battery. The key clue is a new DishBatteryStats reference, which appears designed to return battery-specific information rather than simply detect that the dish is plugged into some random external power bank.
