Technical FAQs 4

How many amps should a fan battery be?

I have a computer fan that I am using for a school competition. The rules state that voltage used can be no higher than 9 volts but most fans are 12 volts. The fan that I have is has a recommended 12 volt 4.5 amps. So if I used a 9 volt battery or 7.2 volt how many amps should that battery be?

What is the operating voltage of a DC fan?

The operating voltage of a DC fan varies based on its application and design. Here are the common operating voltages for DC fans, including the notable 48V category, along with their typical use cases:

What voltage should a computer fan be?

Im new too electrical engineering (updated) I have a computer fan that I am using for a school competition. The rules state that voltage used can be no higher than 9 volts but most fans are 12 volts. The fan that I have is has a recommended 12 volt 4.5 amps.

Can a fan run on a 12V battery?

First, ensure the battery voltage matches the fan’s required voltage. For example, if the fan runs on 12V DC, make sure your battery provides a 12V output. If the voltage from the battery is higher than needed, you will need a DC-to-DC step-down converter to lower the voltage to match the fan’s requirement.
