Starlink Terminal 12-Volt Conversion
Disclaimer: Use this information at your own risk! It's not my fault if you damage something, even if it's caused by explicitly following what I've shared here. This may violate your terms of service and/or warranty. To use a Starlink User Terminal on an RV, boat, or other platform where the default power source is not alternating current in the 120+ volts range, any basic inverter will happily feed the included PoE injector and router. However, there are advantages to eliminating the components Starlink provides and switching to something like a Yaosheng injector with a router of your choosing (or even no router at all). This article describes roughly how I did this on our 12-volt-based sailboat. Note: At the time of this writing there are a handful of user terminals in existence including Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, and High Performance. This write-up is based on the High Performance terminal but have done the same conversion on a Gen 2 and believe it would also work for Gen 1
