Looking for a UPS for Starlink that keeps your dish online through blackouts and brownouts? WOYUM® makes two Starlink backup power solutions: the portable Mini (222Wh, purpose-built for Starlink Mini) and the UPS-314 (1005Wh true-online DC UPS for Starlink Standard and Starlink Mini). They sit on the same shelf, but they are built for very different buyers. This comparison covers runtime, outputs, use cases, and pricing, so you can choose the right unit — or deploy both across different sites.
The Core Difference: Portable Power vs True-Online DC UPS
The WOYUM® Mini is a grab-and-go power solution. At 222Wh it powers a Starlink Mini dish for 8+ hours, adds a USB-C PD3.1 140W port for laptops and phones, and recharges from solar, mains, or a car charger. It is built for mobility — camping, RV trips, field work, and pop-up sites where Starlink Mini travels with you. If you want a deeper dive on the portable unit, see our Starlink Mini UPS buying guide.
The UPS-314 is a true-online DC UPS — not a power station. It feeds Starlink equipment straight from its battery at all times, so there is zero switchover time when mains power fails: no reboot, no dropped session. With 1005Wh of LiFePO4 storage, a 57V/3.42A dedicated Starlink output, plus PoE, 12V, and USB ports, it is built for fixed installations that must stay online: offices, retail branches, WISP base stations, and surveillance setups.

When the Mini Is the Right Pick
Choose the WOYUM® Mini when mobility matters more than capacity:
- Starlink Mini owners on the move. The 30V/2A dedicated output is designed for the Starlink Mini dish, and 8+ hours of runtime covers a full day off-grid.
- Camping, RV, and overlanding. The compact unit rides along with the dish; IP35 weather resistance handles dust and light rain at the campsite.
- Field teams and mobile clinics. Pop-up sites get reliable Starlink connectivity without a generator, and the USB-C PD3.1 140W port fast-charges laptops between sessions.
- Car charging convenience. Top up from a vehicle 12V outlet on the drive to the next site — no wall socket needed.
What the Mini does not do: it cannot power a Starlink Standard dish (different voltage, higher draw). For a single-dish, go-anywhere setup, it is the simplest answer.
When the UPS-314 Is the Right Pick
Choose the WOYUM® UPS-314 when uptime is non-negotiable:
- Starlink Standard (Gen 3 / V4) sites. The 57V/3.42A dedicated output is purpose-built for the larger dish, delivering 8+ hours of backup from a single unit.
- Multi-device installations. One UPS-314 can back up the dish plus a WiFi router (12V/3A), a PoE camera (30W with LAN), and charge phones and laptops over USB — a full connectivity cabinet in one box.
- WISP and ISP field sites. TCP/IP, SNMP, and Web remote management let network operators monitor backup status without rolling a truck.
- 24/7 unattended operation. True-online architecture means the load never sees a transfer gap, and the LiFePO4 cell is rated for ≥6000 cycles — years of daily cycling.
- Off-grid solar sites. The DC input accepts solar panels directly, extending runtime where mains is unreliable or absent.
Both units carry CE, RoHS, FCC, UN38.3, and MSDS certifications and a 1-year warranty.
Quick Decision Guide
- Which dish? Starlink Mini → either unit works. Starlink Standard → UPS-314 only.
- Fixed site or mobile? Mobile (camping, RV, field) → Mini. Fixed (office, branch, base station) → UPS-314.
- Other devices to protect? Router, cameras, or phones alongside the dish → UPS-314’s multi-output wins.
- How many sites? Fleets and resellers: Mini MOQ is 500 units, UPS-314 MOQ is 100 units — factor this into your first order.
- Need remote monitoring? UPS-314’s SNMP/Web management is the only option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Mini power a Starlink Standard dish?
No. Starlink Standard requires the 57V/3.42A output that only the UPS-314 provides. The Mini’s 30V/2A output is dedicated to Starlink Mini.
Can the UPS-314 power a Starlink Mini?
Yes — and for a very long time. The UPS-314 runs a Starlink Mini dish for 30+ hours, making it a strong choice for Mini users who want multi-day resilience or who also back up routers and cameras.
Will my Starlink reboot when the power goes out?
Not with the UPS-314: its true-online DC architecture carries the load through mains failure with zero switchover time. The Mini is designed for automated, unattended operation, so it keeps running through outages too.
Can I charge either unit with solar panels?
Yes. The Mini charges from solar, mains, or a car charger. The UPS-314 charges from its 57V adapter or directly from solar panels via its DC input.
What certifications do these UPS units have?
Both units carry CE, RoHS, FCC, UN38.3, and MSDS certifications, with a 1-year warranty.
