Hey LibertyMKiii,I think you likely meant DC fan.
FYI @arelee most chargers have a very low discharge wattage rating. Yours happens to be 5 watts which is low indeed!
Connecting a DC fan or lightbulb will drain the battery significantly faster. I typically stop around 3.86v then move it to the charger to run a balanced discharge down to storage. I am using a dual fan made to plugin to the cigarette lighter in your car that draws around 20 watts oh high. It is pretty easy to connect some battery leads with alligator clips to the fan. It was a cheap $15.00 solution that I already had laying around.
This charger,(the new replacement), really is extremely slow in "STORAGE" mode. Over 14 hours on one battery, and even then, the machine hadn't completed its cycle. All cells read 3.88v.
Do you have any suggestions for different chargers, (brand and model) options, that will work faster in Charge/Balance and Storage modes?
Many thank's.
Merry Christmas!
