PeakDo adds active cooling to Starlink Mini battery for 5.5 hours of untethered use

The $329 LinkPower Ultra combines semi-solid-state cells, a built-in cooling fan and pass-through charging in a slimmer 99.9Wh pack designed to mount directly to SpaceX’s Starlink Mini.

PeakDo has added a new model to its Starlink Mini accessory line-up, launching the LinkPower Ultra as a higher-spec battery pack aimed at users who need longer untethered operation and better thermal control. According to the company’s product page and the original launch report, the unit is priced at $329, with a temporary $30 discount for early buyers. It is designed to mount on the rear of SpaceX’s Starlink Mini dish, extending the terminal’s portability without adding a separate external power brick.

The most notable change is the introduction of an active cooling system. PeakDo says a fan starts automatically when internal temperature reaches 52C and stops once the battery cools to 45C. The company also says the Ultra uses semi-solid-state cells, which it presents as a safer and more stable alternative to conventional lithium-ion chemistry because of improved thermal resistance and a lower risk of electrolyte leakage. The battery is rated at 27,000mAh, or 99.9Wh, placing it just below the 100Wh threshold that typically matters for airline carry-on rules.

PeakDo has also reduced the enclosure thickness to 22mm and says the pack weighs about 663g. For comparison, the earlier LinkPower 3 is thicker at 27mm, while still promising a similar runtime figure. PeakDo claims the Ultra can power the Starlink Mini for up to 5.5 hours at an average draw of 20W. The company’s documentation also describes pass-through charging, which allows the dish to remain online while the battery is recharged, alongside a magnetic DC connector rated to 65W and a USB-C port for charging other devices at up to 65W.

The LinkPower Ultra also includes an IP65 rating, a 1/4-inch mounting thread for tripods and camera accessories, and Wi-Fi monitoring through PeakDo’s app, which can show battery status remotely and schedule power cycles. PeakDo says early orders will ship from China within seven to 15 days, with Amazon availability expected in early November. The company is also offering bundle options with a car charger, a mount, or both, as SpaceX works on a second-generation Starlink Mini with its own battery capability.
