How these runtimes are calculated: runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw of 88 W (the running draw, assumed on the whole time). Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated capacity where none exists, marked "(est.)". A model must also carry the running watts continuously and the startup peak within its surge rating. The same formula applies to every model; see the methodology.

What size do you need?
What size power station do I need for a Starlink (Standard kit)?
Look for at least 88 W of continuous AC output and 88 W of surge. For capacity, a Starlink (Standard kit) averages about 88 W, so 8 hours needs roughly 900 Wh of rated capacity and 24 hours roughly 2,650 Wh, assuming 80% of rated capacity reaches the outlets.
How long will a 1,000 Wh power station run a Starlink (Standard kit)?
About 9.1 h for a generic 1,000 Wh unit, if its inverter can handle the 88 W startup surge: roughly 800 Wh (80% of rated) reaches the outlets, divided by an average draw of 88 W. Measured models of this size vary; see the table above.
Which power station can run a Starlink (Standard kit) for a full day?
Of the 15 models we track, the smallest that runs a Starlink (Standard kit) for 24 hours on one charge is the Anker SOLIX F3800. Larger models run it longer; see the table above.
What a Starlink (Standard kit) draws
| Running watts | 88 W[source]Starlink Standard kit specification sheet: power consumption 'Average: 75 - 100 W'. 88 W is the midpoint of that range. Draw is higher while melting snow (the sheet lists snow-melt capability) and varies with temperature and network activity. |
|---|---|
| Startup (surge) watts | 88 W[source]No motor start-up surge (the Standard dish is manually oriented); surge = running. |
| Average draw used above | 88 W |
| Voltage | 120 V |
Uses the average power figure from Starlink's own spec sheet; the sheet gives no idle figure.
