How many batteries does the fan require?

Hi Justin, 2 D-cell batteries. We use the fan roughly six hours/day, set on "Low". The batteries last a week.

each fan uses 2 d batteries which we get from the dollar tree store. My wife uses both of them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week...and the batteries last all at least 2 week before needing to be changed

It can not be battery operated. There is a remote that comes with it. The cord is about 5 foot long. I've been very happy with my fan. I bought two of them.

The fan itself weighs almost nothing So with 2 D batteries it weighs just a bit more then 2 batteries.Without the batteries it would be so light weight it would easily be blown away by a small gust of wind.

I really like this fan a lot. It can use two sizes of battery. I have two of the smaller size. The fan runs about an hour on low with the smaller one. I think the correct way to classify the battery is by milli amp hours. The larger this number is the more capacity and longer lasting the battery will be.

No, just one. But I don't recommend this fan - the battery compartment door screws on with a tiny, easily lost screw.

One! A co-worker uses it to cool herself at work. .. I use it to cool electronics actually when driving speakers loud over a long period of time. .. it is a well built very efficient little fan... walmart has them and other places but this is your best deal here

Sorry, but it's been a while since we bought this item. We keep a supply of batteries on hand at all times, so that wasn't important for us. If you order the fan, it's not a bad idea to have a backup set anyway, so I would buy the batteries just in case.

About 6-1/4" x 3". the 6-1/4 is due to the base of the fan that holds the 2 D cell batteries. The battery base of the fan folds up to the back of the fan which makes the fan folded approximately 2-1/2" then. I actually carry one around with me when we visit because of the heat. If someone's home is too warm for me, I just pull it out and can put it on my lap and keep cool. At my Aunt's which I visit frequently, it's like an oven and I sit my fan on her kitchen table right in front of me. It works. I absolutely love my fans for which I have several. They also make these little fans that run on batteries and electric. I have some of battery/electric and just battery operated. They are the best.

It is a great fan, it does take several batteries so as long as he has access to lots of batteries he would love it.

It is meant to charge a 12 volt battery and works well, so I would assume you would also need a battery hooked up in line that would feed the fan.

Plugs into wall socket. Does not nor cannot use batteries. As it says in the description, it is 10" fan blade. The physical size is around 12" wide, 8" deep, about 18" high. Would highly recommend instead the dual oscillating version here: http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Brezza-Dual-Oscillating-Velocity/dp/B00873CICA/ref=pd_sbs_hg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=14ZDHTKBJ1Z40BZTQKG3. Also, if you get it right now, there's a coupon for Father's day taking 30% off bring the better Dual Oscillating version down to just over $28 for that version which is a GREAT deal. These are both great fans and move a LOT of air even on the lowest setting which I have only ever needed to use.

Depends on the how long you want it to last for. For instance I have four six volt batteries connected in series to give 12 volts. It's in my bedroom and I have 12 volt lighting plus the fan through out my house. I haven't used ac lights or fan in about a year. The fans great really depends on how many batteries you have honestly

mine is dc. I had battery drain problem. Wired it from a toggle switch to disconnect neg. batt cable. only energised with engine running problem solved. I don't know why it would't work for a fan

One fan. The unit is nut upgradable. Customer service sucks. Look araoun for something else is my suggestion.

I don't remember for sure but it was a decent size. Maybe like 12 x 15. I have talked to a few others and have found for the most part that most battery operated fans do not generate much power and drain the batteries fast.

Not long enough. My recharges never worked.I use a battery pack to run the fan.

Ms Lisa,This is a Non-battery fan.BUT, it is a wonderful/must have, traveling item. Small/safe/ quiet. Great for the bathrooms that are not vented.
