COSMO MINI
I mentioned Cosmo Mini earlier . This product , as the name suggest , is a power supply for the Starlink Mini system , which is a combined dish and router . As Cowfish Technologies Evert Smit said , a huge problem that caravanners face when using Starlink Mini is voltage drop . Starlink Mini has a power input of between 12V and 48V , though it works more reliably at the higher end of that voltage spectrum . However , when the dish is placed a good distance from the power supply , loss of voltage over that distance is likely to cause power disruptions .
The beauty of Cosmo Mini is that it ’ s designed to accommodate voltage drop . That ’ s its purpose . Mount Cosmo Mini to a convenient place within your van , near a 12V input , plug it in , and run the supplied power cable to the Starlink Mini dish . The Cosmo Mini will provide the appropriate voltage input , meaning those power disruptions become a thing of the past .
There are some aftermarket kits that you can buy with Anderson plugs , etc ., that claim to address the voltage drop issue with Starlink Mini , but this is probably the most reliable and complete system on the market .
To power the Cosmo Mini kit , you get a power cable with blank ends that could be wired directly to the fuse panel , or you could opt for a power cable with an Anderson plug or a cigarette style plug .
SUMMING UP
The Cosmo system provides the ultimate solution to powering a gen 3 Starlink router off 12V , without the need for anything else , while always providing the correct voltage ( 57V at 7A ), thereby ensuring optimum efficiency .
If reliable mobile internet that you can access anywhere you go in Australia is important to you , you can ’ t go past Starlink powered by Cosmo . Further , for the convenience and efficiency that it provides , it is well priced . And best of all , it requires no special skills to install , especially if you already have your external and internal data points sorted . Simply mount the Cosmo , connect it to a 12V source , plug it into your Starlink router , and get connected . It ’ s that easy .
