Is it possible to wire this fan to work with a 12v wall outlet power cord (old cell phone charger)? If so, can someone please explain how to do this?

I would say it is possible. If it was me I would just cut off the plugs. Strip the wires, then solder and shrink wrap to insulate. Of course the amp rating of the power adapter needs to be a little higher than what the fan needs. (at least) And being DC, polarity needs to be correct. Make sure the adapter has a DC output, not AC. Hope that helps.

Hi Catalyst God,Thanks for the question. You have to use the wall switch that is provided with the fan. It will not work with a standard switch. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

The fan should be mounted to a well supported box. I see no reasons you could not run a power cord into the box.

The fan I purchased was made to run on 120 volt alternating current. There were wires to wire the fan directly or wire it to be controlled by a switch.

I think it should be possible as long as the appliance doesn't pull too much amperage. If you can plug the fan into a normal wall outlet (14AWG) it should probably be fine. You can use the jumpers to either turn on when it reaches a certain temperature, or turn off when it gets below a certain temperature.

I originally used the AC receptacle in the back of the cable box. Since the fan plug / interface to USB are completely different, I might check with one of the bigger electronic stores, Radio Shack types. Also be aware of current needs: i.e. 120v versus anything else. I don't know what voltage comes out of USB (enough to run the fan???). Hope this helps.

I have no idea on that. You would need to contact the manufacturer. We ended up adding another fan in our attic because it is so big. They don't require much power at all. You can't even hear them going. Boy have they made a huge difference in our electric bill.

Hi Stella. I don't know if it will work for you or not. I bought the cord because I used it to plug the cooling fan to my laptop. Try to google power cord for the device you have and see what comes up. I googled power for the type of cooling fan I had and this power cord came up. I hope this helps. Good luck.

You can do that , in fact it is a 12 volt fan . It is a very small computer size fan and does not use much electricity ,however over time it will run the battery down . I have a solar panel on my RV that keeps the battery topped off.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

I would think so if it will accept the power plug just like in a vehicle but I would check the voltage draw as does fan us 6 volts or straight 12 volt. The reason I say this is fan may not be able to reduce voltage itself for proper operation.

Hi there. The Velinion speed controller that the fan is made to fit on has a power supply plug clipped on the side in readiness for this fan. However I'm sure you could get it running off another power supply of appropriate voltage.

The fan unit is designed to operate from a 10- 15 volt DC power source, ie 3 or 4 cell lipo battery. The battery power must pass through an appropriately sized, ie 45amp, electronic speed control to generate the appropriate signal to for operating the fan motor. In theory you could convert the 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC but it would still require an ESC, and be cumbersome set-up. I would not recommend this approach.

It is possible as the fan is only 5v, which I believe is what an Iphone is using anyway when it charges.

The fan is powered by plugging in usb cable into computer, or wall adapter. It does not work cordless. Mine was not very durable & broke the first day.

Any USB wall plug of any voltage will work. If you can charge your smartphone you can run this fan.

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?
