Looking for something that runs on rechargeable batteries that I can take camping to provide some airflow in a tent. So far, my primary contender is this one: Amazon.com
I like that it’s not tiny, and that it runs on 18650 cells which I’ve got plenty of.
This one has no way to add batteries at all. All you get is a hard wired USB cable, which means I would have to get an external battery pack for it. I wish there was a version with battery compartment built-in, but no batteries included.
Not sure if you own any cordless power tools.
Most of the pro-sumer brands (Dewalt, Makita, Milliwauki, etc.) will have a fan you can buy as a bare tool. Any of them would be a good choice. Portable and durable.
Go to Target, Bed Bath And Beyond or ChinaMart and buy the O2 Cool 10” fan which either runs on 12vdc, or 9vdc. They use 8xD (older model) and now 6xD (newer model), which also comes with a 120vac wall wart adapter.
With a homemade barrel adapter, you can run them off of a bigger 12v AGM/SLA battery. I’ve got one of each and they are quite portable with the alkaleaks installed and they offer ~40 hours on the high setting.
They saved my bacon durning IRMA and 84 hours without power.
It can run off 4 AA cells, or USB power. I use Eneloops, and it lasts a few hours on them. I really like it, and the quality seems good. It’s powerful. My only complaint is that it is a bit noisy, but I guess all small fans are like that. Okay, my only other complaint is that it only has 1 speed.
An identical fan in the OP is on lightning deal right now (Sunday, June 3, 2018) on Amazon US until about 6:30pm EST. COMLIFE USB Desk Fan, 4400mAh Rechargeable Battery Operated Portable Personal Fan. 9 inch $29.74, 7.5 inch $21.24.
I bought a couple smaller single 18650 fans from Caseys early last year for camping. They were cheap, worked great until I tried to run it while charging, burnt both of them up.
My wife likes to have a louder fan, I don’t mind the white noise now, took me long time to get use to it, now I have trouble sleeping when its to quite.
I also like a fan during the evenings to help keep bugs away (sometimes helps). Or keeping the smoke away.
I currently use a comfort zone usb power fan, on my dresser next to my bed, just barely enough airflow. It rotates , I cant find a link to it, got it last year, Menards i think
