We currently offer battery powered cases designed to hold Milwaukee M18 or Dewalt 20V lithium batteries, including durable Pelican cases and specialized Starlink cases. Most airlines allow the carry-on of these types of batteries.

Our design is inspired by the Pelican Protector 1450 case, known for being crush-proof and waterproof, with the added benefit of up to 40 pounds of buoyancy. This makes it an ideal battery powered case for various applications, including as a reliable Starlink case. The internal components are 3D printed and expertly assembled in Kodiak, Alaska.

No - you need to provide your own, as starlink requires a subscription.
M18 Forge Red Lithium XC8.0 ~ 5.hours
M18 High Output Red Lithium XC8.0 ~ 5 hours
Dewalt 20V 9.0AH ~ 5.5 hours
Dewalt 20V 8.0AH ~ 5 hours
Run time is approximate and depends on many factors. It is suggested to "Turn OFF' the heating element of the starlink mini in your account.
A fully depleted system (15.6 volts)
3 -- M18 Forge Red Lithium XC8.0 ~ 10 hours
The Kodiak Case charger only charges up to 20.0 Volts and is a 'field' charger. For best battery life and maintanence, we recommend using the battery manufacturers charger when available.
Yes- but it is not good practice to mix different battery sizes together or voltage levels. If you choose to mix battery sizes, it is suggested to isolate the batteries by turning off the rocker switches. There is a lot of information online about this subject.
My first 5 cases were designed around the Ezuse case - as it is lighter weight and slightly smaller dimensions. The Ezuse is water resistant. The Ezuse will not charge the batteries, and the 3d printed components are screwed into the case.
The Pelican 1450 is fully waterproof and is buoyant up to 30 pounds. The 3d parts are bonded to the case with scotch weld industrial adhesive. The power button, voltmeter and external power supply port are sealed with RTV and put under 15 pounds of vacuum to ensure a watertight seal.
9 pounds empty - 16.5" x 13" x 6.9"
28 Pounds loaded: (3) M18 Forge 8.0 Batteries, Starlink Mini, cord, AC & DC adapter
No - the Kodiak Case is not able to charge directly from a solar panel.
It may be possible to interface the Kodiak Case with an existing solar capable power bank/ solar generator. I have utilized a Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC to successfully power and partially charge the Kodiak Case using its included inverter and the Starlink AC adapter.
Kodiak Alaska does not see extreme temps -- so I have not had a chance to real-world test extreme hot or cold and most of my cases are in Alaska. The starlink generates heat, so as long as the tool batteries are able to function, I would assume it would operate in cold temps. Hot temperatures may cause a thermal shut-down of the starlink. Starlink posts operating range of -22F to 113F with thermal shutdown at 122F.
Yes! The Kodiak Case can easily be transported by airline -- be sure to check your airlines policies regarding lithium batteries to ensure compliance as they may be different than the FAA.
