On July 24 2025, Starlink experienced a global outage lasting roughly 2.5 hours, caused by ground-station software failure. (Source: Wikipedia summary of Reuters)
For users of Starlink Mini and related battery systems, the outage highlights critical lessons: • Power is one piece—but redundancy (alternate connectivity or battery backup) matters when service disappears. • Battery runtime alone won’t guarantee connectivity—if the network is offline, even fully powered systems yield nothing. • Selling to customers: emphasise the value-add of having both a high-capacity battery and a fallback plan (cellular, multi-SIM, or alternate satcom) for peace-of-mind. • For mobile kits in RVs/boats, recommend practice drills: power down the Mini and rely on battery + fallback connectivity so users are ready for outages.
