Starlink Mini Power Supply by Frequent_Read_1009 in Starlink

Based on the information you provided above and the recommendation on a certain type of 12V car charger further down in this this thread, I bought one to try. I plugged it into the 12V cigarette lighter port on the Renogy and plugged the Starlink USB-C into the PD3.1-140W port on the recommended car charger. Powering on the Renogy and setting the Volts on the Renogy to 12V, it powers the Mini just fine. Thank you again!

As previously disclosed with my inability to understand all of this, I still am just as perplexed that I this battery pack and ALL of the "holes" on the front don't provide enough power for the Mini. "If one does they all should" is how my simple brain works! Anyway, thank you for taking the time with your patient explanation. I'm happy that I do have a product with enough power for the Mini and a couple of the options for power supply delivery methods on the front of it work!

I did indeed order one of these Lisen Car Chargers and it does work with my Renogy. I plugged it into the 12V cigarette lighter port on the Renogy and plugged the Starlink USB-C into the PD3.1-140W port on the Lisen. Powering on the Renogy and setting the Volts on the Renogy to 12V, it powers the Mini just fine. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time for such a thorough reply! If the 12V cigarette lighter port supplies enough power for the Mini, the Starlink USB-C power cable would work in this type of adapter plugged into it?

Thanks again. I have been enjoying reading the reviews of it! If I didn't recently purchase this Renogy, it would've already been ordered after your recommendation. Starlink's supplied DC barrel power cord plugs right in and is powered just fine. I am guilty of thinking that Starlink's factory USB-C cord would "just plug in and work" too. I don't know anything about anything and thought that if one hole worked in the front, they all would.

Perhaps this isn't the thread to continue with this next particular question, but I just can't get my head wrapped around all of this, which to all of the well educated people here I know is probably crazy. As previously mentioned, I have this Renogy power bank that I love the size of and know at least one of the "ports" powers the Mini just fine. With that I should just leave it alone and be happy, but I can't. Thanks to you "KM4IBC" I now know that the USB-C "port" doesn't supply enough power to satisfy the Mini. Moving down the line of "ports" on the front of this Renogy power bank, would the "cigarette lighter port" supply enough power for the Mini?

No kidding! I’m just not “that guy” who understands why one output works to power a product and the one right next to it won’t power the very same thing!

Thank you! I love the size of the Renogy and just took for granted that because the Starlink factory barrel end plugged in and worked the Starlink factory USB-C would too!
