If it is actually a chopper, not just a heatpipe and fan, then I could see 4 amps draw for a Peltier effect cooler.

For reference, a 3" computer fan draws around 0.2A at 12v, or roughly 1 watt. Unless this cooler fan has a 12" diameter and can provide a 30 mph breeze, I doubt it will be drawing anything remotely close to 5A. I'm leaning towards the theory that your 4A power supply is having other issues, causing you to think the fan is using that much power. I'd go ahead and wire it to the battery. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Love... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
