I wonder if we are getting to the point of deminishing returns with some of the current fans if the increased cooling effect is negated by amount of current draw they pull from our battery.
Anyone have any input or thoughts on this?
Amp draw for these small brushless fans is negligible at best. Maybe 1/3 amp for the strongest fan on the market, and that's probably on the high side. I'll gladly take the hit on available current to the motor to ensure it lives to see another round. FWIW, most fans in this size category draw anywhere from 0.1A to 0.25A based on the specs I've located online for similar items.
