- oxplot 4y agoYou can easily use an inverter to go from 12v to 110V/240V and just use the stock adapter. Alternatively, you can get your hands dirty and do what I did [1]. However, I'm fairly certain that the non-maritime accounts won't be able to use the service on water (most likely geofenced) so that Starlink can sell their maritime version.

EDIT: looks like it's not geofenced based on some other people's comments who've been using the standard terminal on boats.
- roflyear 4y agoMaybe....maybe not... It depends if it will work using the new sat tech if it ever comes out. As it stands you just have a different (I wouldn't even say better) version of 4g....
- oittaa 4y agoI think the "rv model" supports 12V. It's not officially supported on moving vessels by SpaceX, but you can find a lot of Youtube videos where people have installed terminals on their boats.
