Rechargeable Fan with LED 12"

G'day Barry,

Our expert measuring team have just measured the rechargeable Fan with LED 12" for you and found that it has a 490cm 12V cable and 135cm 240V cable.

G'day Tracey,

Unfortunately, aside from using the 12V DC or 240V AC there is no other way to recharge the battery of the Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED 12". Alternatively, we do stock the Coleman Lighted Tent Fan & Stand which is powered through a D-cell battery only- not rechargeable.  You would get approx. 10hrs of running time on the high setting with this fan and around 30hrs on low.

There' nothing readily available, unfortunately, Terry. You could probably make something yourself but we don't have the parts to do so. If you do this you should make sure you're sticking to the recommended power ratings and I'd recommend having an in-line fuse. It's probably worth noting that doing this may also void your warranty.

I'd suggest either checking in with a specialist caravan shop or even somewhere like Jaycar, they may have the parts you need to put something together.

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

G'day Kevin,

The Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED 12" has two charge cables, a 12v with cigarette plug and a 240V cable with standard Australian Plug so they are not USB rechargeable. The only USB rechargeable fan we've currently got in the Companion Aero Breeze 17cm.

G'day Rachel,

Outside of the 12V DC or 240V AC, there is no other way to recharge the battery unless you choose to purchase a separate battery pack to use as a power bank which would considerably add to your costs.  

Alternatively, we do stock the Coleman Lighted Tent Fan & Stand, however, this is only powered through a D-cell battery and is not rechargeable.  You would get approx. 10hrs of running time on the high setting with this fan and around 30hrs on low, per battery.  

Fan operation when camping without a power source can be a tricky one!  Hopefully this helps your decision and please feel free to ask as many questions as you need.  Cheers :)

G'day Rachel,

The Coleman Rechargeable Fan has its own built-in battery that will only charge from 240v or 12v, so they're not compatible with the CPX6 batteries, these are designed for a different range of Coleman products. The 12" fan will take approximately 8 hours to charge and last for 4-6 hours, you would then need to charge it again.

G'day Patrick,

My understanding from our discussions with Coleman about this is that it can't be charged and run simultaneously on 12V DC power. It can, however, do both simultaneously on 240V as long as the switch is flicked to AC. 

G'day Andrea,

We're not entirely sure why you've had the same issue twice in a row with your Colman Rechargeable Fan with LED. It might have potentially been a batch issue with the batch Kempsey Camping World had. 

G'day Anna,

G'day Lee,

I've just had a look at the owners manual for the Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED. It says that you can replace the battery by simply connecting the cords to the right spots on the battery. It says that the battery just needs to be compatible with AC 220-240V 50HZ but doesn't specify a specific battery type you'd need.

G'day Paul,

Armed with my trusty tape measure I've just ventured down to the shop floor and measured both the cords on the Coleman Rechargeable Fan With LED 12". The 12V cord comes in just clear of 5m, whilst the 240V cord measures at around about 1.5m. 

G'day Ruby,

The Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED 12" chews up 22 watts when running on an electrical outlet. If you were considering the 8" variety, then that uses 16 watts. 

G'day Mardi,

You can! Just ensure that the Coleman Rechargeable Fan unit is switched to AC.

G'day Andrew,

I've spoken with Coleman. You can charge the battery via 12V or 240V when switched to DC, however, in my own testing here in store, it appears you can also charge from 240V when flicked to AC. You will definitely need to flick to AC if you want to run the fan directly from the power source.

G'day Sally,

When you first purchase the Coleman Rechargeable 12" Fan, the battery needs an initial charge of 18 hours. Thereafter, once the battery is flat, it takes approximately 8 hours to fully recharge.

G'day Paul,

Unfortunately, no timer switch with the Coleman Rechargeable Fans.
