Question: Battery 12v Fans
Category: Electricity
Date Added: April 26th Thursday, 2007
Answer:

Hello Chris,

Batteries are very heavy. I want to utilize only the 12 AA batteries and the one Motorcycle Battery for all my needs,

Therefore, I need a small 12 Volt fan, the smaller the better in a way. Clamping is good.

I think maybe I can rewire that charger to 12 volts, it is not a complicated device.

I am about ready to buy a Moto Battery or Motorcycle Battery. The cost is only 6 USA here in Togo, then I could try the small 12 Volt solar panel. I am thinking that for about 25 USA Dollars a person could have a light in their home and never pay a bill.

This is not really their need though, kerosene and candles are easier, mobile and simple. I think they need to power a freezer.

YOU WROTE

Walmart 12V fans in 3 sizes and reported before: 8"/10" and 14" (the larger having an internal 75 hr battery and costing $35).  RV places have smaller size "tornado" type 12V fans without battery (just CLA for $10-$15 and have a clamping base).

Charger you took was rewired to only power 3V Woodgas stove and is used in 6V position (Why?  I dunno, but I talked to the maker - that's how he set it up).  I told you this on the phone before you left.  Remember???  You need different gear, bro.  Working on it, Okay?

Thank you,
