Before your first trip

Your first day

Ten minutes at home saves a dead battery on the road. Do these the day your AMPak arrives.

Check the box.Battery, 45W charger, USB-C cord, and this manual.
Charge it to full.Plug the 45W charger into the USB-C port marked POWER IN. The green light means fast charging is on. About 4 hours later, all four blue lights stay lit.
Check your Mini’s ports.Unplug anything connected to the Starlink Mini, including the ethernet plug. The AMPak needs a clear path to seat.
Do a practice run at home.Slide the AMPak on, power it up, and let your Mini connect. Then take it back off. See Setup.
Know your numbers.A Starlink Mini typically draws about 20W, which gives you around 7 hours. Heavy streaming or snow melt mode uses more. See Runtime.
Pack the charger.Top off from a wall, a vehicle’s USB-C port, or a solar panel between uses.

Good to knowThe AMPak replaces the Mini’s cord, so the Mini stands on the AMPak’s folding leg. Mounts that clamp the Mini may not fit with the battery attached.
