I am so impressed with Starlink, we got it 3 weeks ago for our projects. We could not believe how well it worked. We bought 4 more for our other projects.
The interesting thing is you seem to be within the rating of the Mean Well DDR-120A-48, and during boot up around 5A. But then later down to 2A. Seems to be a good match for your v2 dish. But seems under powered for a high performance flat panel dish. Still looking! :-)
its around 75-100 watts. this test 3Amps/hr * 13volts = ~40watts so about twice as much. but the problem with the inverter is it has to be on all day long no matter what the load is and depending on its size might draw significant power. an oversized inverter will have a lot of vampire power but last longer, a just right sized inverter will be more efficient but die out on you after 2-4 years constant use. DC solves a lot of issues here, beyond halfing the power consumption. if youre already on 48v system there is even more gain of efficiency, but most people who post videos about "power consumption" and then proceed to show no power info (watts) and instead show amp-hour/electric charge usage are normally all on 12v
For those of us using solar generators, how many watts is that while it’s in use? I can’t ever find watts being pulled, they usually just speak in amps.
For example, when Starlink is plugged into my Ecoflow, it pulls about 50w. Just wondering what that number would now be if I would do the 12v conversion
Great video Steve! Appreciate the power consumption numbers. This helped me source the parts listed below that I'm going to try for my 12vdc RV installation. As in your case, I will NOT be using the Starlink router. I plan to use a Peplink mobile router and combining Starlink (NEO satellite), AT&T (cellular), and T-Mobile (cellular) for bulletproof Internet connectivity while on the road. I went a bit beefy on the 12v to 48v step up converter as I will be powering a 5-port PoE gig Ethernet switch from it as well. That gives me a total 48vdc power budget of 240w (120w for the Starlink dish and 120w for the PoE Ethernet switch).

Asa teck idiot I think this is what I have been looking for although I don't totally understand it all, so with a fully charged 12volt battery how long can you use the system? Because I want NET capability at my river lot that has NO utilities whatsoever

Thanks for the video with actual data. So many bs videos lately of people just talking to get to 10 minutes.
Wow. That's very impressive design. Kudos!!
Actually, pretty good setup and demo. I'm looking to get Starling to run directly from 12v solar/battery system. Thanks for numbers.
Looking to make something like this. Thanks so much for sharing!
thanks, very informative. It would be fun to see how small one could get this hardware by removing cases and mounting components on a PCB.
Great video
Definitely be nice to the crows. They remember who’s nice and who’s not, and even tell future generations. 😂
This was interesting!
Thanks. I have been wanting amp hour numbers

Hey Steve, can you show what did you do with the new router settings? What we should do in order to work?
If anything, this video needed more bird noises!
Hi Steve, would you also be able to test what would the power consumption be, when the snow melting is on, please?
Hi, great video. Can you build one for me? What would the cost be to buy a turnkey solution?
Steve, I am with Luis in this one. Would you sell them as a complete setup please? Thank you.
Can you give us the complete list of the components please ?
Its a neat set up...
Did you ever test the power consumption using the 120v standard setup using an inverter? I'm very interested to know how much the 12v conversion saves
I think that's going to be different for each inverter, as some are more efficient than others. Still it would be good to have a general idea
its around 75-100 watts. this test 3Amps/hr * 13volts = ~40watts
so about twice as much. but the problem with the inverter is it has to be on all day long no matter what the load is and depending on its size might draw significant power. an oversized inverter will have a lot of vampire power but last longer, a just right sized inverter will be more efficient but die out on you after 2-4 years constant use.

This is actually dc, do you have ideas on the AC GEN 2 high performance starlink

volt * amp = watt... the number varies as shown in the video...

What was the max amp draw during Dishy heating? I’m trying to size the fuse appropriately
I have not tested that myself.
