A battery-powered Starlink Mini is likely on the way

Strings in a May Starlink firmware update suggest SpaceX may be working on a battery-powered Starlink Mini.

The code references battery status reporting and multiple power modes, pointing to an internal battery rather than only external packs.

An integrated battery could make Starlink Mini more portable and easier to use off-grid.

It would also give users a more official alternative to third-party battery add-ons.
