I guess my next question would be what the advantage to this fan would be over using a regular table round table top fan with a converter....a cheap converter is cheaper than this fan.
Are there pros and cons?
Will a normal fan with a converter run my battery down?
No way to answer that without more information. However, you can easily figure it out yourself:
- Find the current rating for your 120 volt "normal fan".
- Multiply this number by 10. This is how much that fan will draw from your inverter.
- Add 10 to 20% for inverter losses. Use 20% if you get a cheap inverter.
- Now you know how much power your inverter/fan combination will draw from your battery.
- Divide this number into 1/2 the amp hr. rating of your battery.
- This is how many hours your fan can run before your battery will drop from full to 50% charge.
