Enough: 27 of 54 stations

The 54 power stations in the data set, ranked smallest capacity first (the closest fit), then lower price, then lighter. Whether a link can earn us money never changes the order.

Enough Watts may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It never changes the math or the ranking.

Runs it, but not long enough: 27 of 54 stations

They pass the output, surge and voltage checks but run out before the goal. Longest runtime first.

What to know

The Starlink Mini puts the router inside the dish and draws about 33 W, from 25 W to 40 W in the data. Left on for a whole weekend with a phone topped up each day, that is 832 Wh a day and 1,664 Wh over the 48 hours.

Nothing here asks much of the output, 53 W at once, so the battery alone sorts the stations: 27 of the 54 last the weekend and 27 run out before the 48 hours are up. The closest fit is the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 (2,042 Wh), with 2.1 days of this routine.

With a panel at the site, a smaller station can stretch the weekend. About 280 W of panels at 4 peak sun hours, counting 75% of the panel rating, put back one day of this list, and 44 of the 54 stations that run it accept that much solar input.

A dish powered from a station's DC outlet skips the inverter and can run longer than the AC figures here. Check the power options in the dish maker's own documentation. The question below works out the larger Standard dish for the same weekend.
