DC Voltage Converter - Regulator Boost Buck Converter Reducer 8V-40V Step Up Down to 12V 6A 72W for Golf Cart Club Car LED Light,Waterproof Power Supply Transformer Volt Module

Diving into the world of DIY projects and tech adaptations, I recently embarked on an ambitious endeavor to convert my Gen 2 Starlink into a more versatile and mobile setup. The heart of this transformation was the DC 12V Step Up to 48V Boost Converter 3A 144W DC Voltage Regulator Power Converter Adapter. This compact yet powerful device proved to be the perfect solution to my problem, seamlessly bridging the power gap and ensuring my Starlink system could thrive in a variety of new environments.The necessity for this project arose from the challenge of running my Gen 2 Starlink off a battery-powered system. The original setup required an AC power source, which greatly limited its mobility and applicability for remote work and adventure. Enter the 48V boost converter – a game-changer that allowed me to tap into 12V DC power sources, such as car batteries and solar panels, and efficiently convert them to the 48V required by the Starlink.What impressed me the most about this converter was its efficiency and reliability. Despite its compact size, it packs a significant punch, delivering a stable and continuous 48V output without overheating or experiencing any drop in performance over extended periods. This was crucial for maintaining a reliable internet connection, regardless of location.The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. With clear instructions and a user-friendly design, I was able to integrate the boost converter into my setup with minimal hassle. The immediate improvement in my Starlink's performance and the newfound freedom to use it virtually anywhere was incredibly satisfying.This boost converter not only solved my immediate problem but also opened up a world of possibilities for using my Starlink system in off-grid situations, mobile offices, and remote adventures. It's a testament to how a simple, well-engineered solution can completely transform the functionality and versatility of existing technology.

I'm using this in a solar powered system to step up the voltage from 12 Volts to 48 Volts for a POE injector that needed a higher voltage to begin with. It works very well so far. I'm under the power rating of it quite a bit, using only about 30 watts or so. It stays cool to the touch.

Used this in my F150 to provide 5 volts to brake fluid reservoir level sensor to make warning light in instrument cluster work properly. It replaced bad circuit coming from instrument cluster.

tried three sellers selling a '24 to 48' converter and received only one that actually does that! it works, can't say or demand much else

This does exactly what I need for my 5V systems in my RV. I've got a lot of monitoring (microcontrollers and sensors) and this provides the entire 5V (and 3.3V) bus for the RV.Ease of installation depends on where you put it, source your power, etc. But for a moderately experienced person, this is cake.Also, make sure your area is ventilated. I'm not really pushing this and I'm pulling down from 12V, and it gets a bit warm. If anything, keeping the air flowing around it will make it last longer.

I use this to reduce 24v to 12v from my solar setup so I can setup my temperature controller module which require 12v only.

I'm using this to run my network router off of a DIY solar-powered battery backup. The router is designed for a 12V power supply and pulls 13W max. I didn't want to risk the charging voltage of 14.6V frying the router (it would probably be fine, but...) so I have this DC-DC converter hooked to the load terminals of the solar charge controller. The converter runs cool, but then again I'm hardly pushing it. Hookup was easy- I just inserted the stripped ends of one pair into the SCC terminals, and crimped an Anderson connector onto the other. There are mounting holes on the converter, but I just used double-sided foam tape to attach it to the battery box.

I'm using the 12V to 48V 3A model to power my StarLink Dishy in an RV using the PoE and adaptor fromYAOSHENG. It's working fantastic!For anyone else doing the same, I would suggest bumping up to the next wattage model if you need to use the snow-melt feature. This one may be pushed to it's limit by using that.

Steps up 18 Volt Li battery to 48 Volts for passive PoE injector. Plenty of current.

Bench tested with power supply and led light bar load. When input drops below 6.6 volts, output drops from steady 1.17 amps to 0.137 amps. As input voltage rises again, output amps stay same. Does not recover from voltage drop, need to disconnect/reconnect (when above 7 volts in is available).
