How that works battery / consumption wise?
2 comments

As the article says...

> That means you can power the Mini dish for two to three hours from something like an Anker Prime 27,650mAh (99.54Wh) power bank, or a little over an hour with smaller 10,000mAh (40Wh) portable batteries you probably already have laying about. It requires a USB-C PD power source with a minimum rating of 100W (20V/5A).

Are there even any 10Ah batteries that can supply 100W? The ones I’ve seen top out at 30-50W.
Please read the article. This is covered in detail.
That's a real 2022 response. Nowadays "Please let a LLM summarize the article for you, instead of wasting human time!" is the proper etiquette. ;-)
Thank you. I was thinking of feedback from people experienced in some complexities of backpacking / camping. In the past, I helped people traveling to Tibet and close to El Chalten [1] with GPS, batteries, solar cells, and weather schedule and redundancy, since if you don't organize yourself precisely like a "military campaign" something could fail that could be prevented with an engineering process.
