Does this page list how much power a Starlink dish draws?
No, this page has no Starlink power figure, so check the dish's own rating before you choose. Find the watt rating in your dish's own documentation or on its label.
Then rule out any unit below whose continuous AC output is lower than that number. Leave room for the laptop, phone or light you also plan to plug in.

- Charging in freezing weather: does not charge below 0 °C
Which of these models charge in freezing weather?
None of the models with a charging limit listed charges in freezing weather: the Elite 400, Elite 300, Elite 200 V2, DELTA 3 Ultra Series and DELTA 2 Max are each rated so the unit does not charge below 0 °C. This page has no charging temperature for the AC180 Solar.
When running (discharging), the Elite 400, Elite 300 and Elite 200 V2 are rated down to -20 °C, while the DELTA 3 Ultra Series and DELTA 2 Max are rated down to -10 °C. If your setup sits outside in winter, plan to charge the battery somewhere warm.
How do you choose among these models?
Start with the watt rating on your dish's own label, since this page has no Starlink figure. Add the other things you plan to run at the same time. Then rule out any unit whose continuous AC output is below that total.
Next, think about how many hours you need between charges, and size the battery for that. If you will refill from panels, the solar input rating caps how fast that refill can go. Weight matters if the unit rides in a car or gets carried to a campsite.
Last, look at the value figures to see how much battery each dollar buys.
