Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted February 8, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted February 8, 2016 I would love to have one for the 21 but the rented garage it lives in has no power :-(I wonder for how long the cartoon would run off a battery?

Ian B Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 It's two (or you could just connect 1) 5" computer fans so not a lot of current draw.I had mine on a leasure battery with a 60w solar panel and a charge controller to keep the battery topped up.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted February 8, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted February 8, 2016 So, without the panel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Well a 120mm PC case fan draws between 100-200mA, so say 200mASo if you get a decent 100Ah leisure battery in theory it would supply 100A for an hour.Scale that down and in theory it would run a 200mA fan for 500 hours, or about 20 days, or 10 days for 2 fans.In practice it's likely to be less due to self-discharge and other losses, as well as temperature dependent.Double the Ah of the battery and the time doubles.That's why I got a decent size solar panel to keep it topped up as I didn't want to lug a big leisure battery back and forth to charge it up very week.
