    How long can you run one without killing the battery? Over night?

    Thanks MT, I'll see if I can read the specs on my batteries. Like you said, I don't think I have to worry.

    Nice set up Mike!  I like the automatic shutoff.

    Aero, if you are concerned about battery usage, we use the O2 fans that can operate off of external batteries with good results.

    Interesting write up on those fans MT. Sounds nice. I have been using the one that DI posted above with good results and very low amp draw. Actually they are a carry-over from my scrooge like days as an amp counter from sailing. This 5kw genset powerboat era has changed my frugal ways ;)

    wow that's a really low draw! 

    I just wanted to add for reference that for a fraction of the price, I use a cheapy fan from amazon that has 1.2/0.7 amp draw for Hi/Low speed. It's got a nice 10' long chord that plugs into the lighter socket and oscillates. I only use it on the hottest of days and usually near a "i'm always hot" person.

    But yeah, Michael T has found a good one!

    Michael T, I added the exact same fan in my cabin 3 years ago. It was one of the easiest upgrades with great benefits. It really equalizes the AC/heat in the cabin or when not using AC/heat it moves the fresh air around. I love the different speeds and timer functions. If something were to happen to the fan I would have to replace immediately.
