Starlink sells a DC-DC (12-48v to 56v) power supply for the Gen 3 system, so no inverter is necessary to use the system if off grid or mobile. Right now our use is primarily mobile and I wanted a less "clunky" solution that didn't require an inverter or a portable power supply so I bit the bullet and paid $110 for their official product rather than making my own for less than half that. It has an XT60 adapter (both ends of the cord) so I had to buy a separate $10 cord that has XT60 on one side and a 12v automotive (cigarette socket) plug on the other. I also bought a cheap 6' Starlink cable (knockoff) so I didn't have that long ass 50 foot cable making a Griswold knot in the car. I found out that the internet speeds are almost as fast when the dish is sitting in the car under the back window of the sedan as it is properly mounted outside. (sitting behind the back seat / on top of the speakers).

I'm wondering if the DJI 1000 would last longer if I used the DC out cable with the Starlink DC power supply instead of using AC. In theory it would, but I don't know enough about how the guts of the DJI unit work. That's an experiment for another day. But if somebody has to use a portable power station it's something to consider. And in case anybody is wondering if the DJI 1000 DC power charging cable works with the Starlink DC-DC power supply, it does not, even though it has the same XT60 connector on it. There is something proprietary about the DJI cord (maybe the polarity is reversed?) that makes it incompatible with something that looks like it should work.
