Rechargeable Fan with LED 8"

G'day Adam,

The 12" and 8" fans feel pretty similar in terms of output airflow. The swivel/oscillating features on the 12" does a slightly better job of circulating air in smaller spaces, but we won't say there's really a difference in the strength of airflow.

G'day Andrew,

I've just measured the 12V cord and it's 5m long.

G'day Maria,

The battery in the Coleman Rechargeable 8" fans can be replaced but you won't get one at the local supermarket. It's a Sealed Lead-Acid battery and you'll need to head to a specialist like Jaycar or Batteryworld. This one from Jaycar looks like it's the correct model but I always advise customers to consult the experts so give them a call or pop into your local store to discuss with them.

G'day Nicole,

The Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED 8" is designed to be run from the rechargeable battery and will last 4 hours on high, 6 hours on low. If you're wanting to run it direct via 12V or 240V you can do this too, the unit is listed as 16 watts.

G'day Shae,

At risk of sitting on the fence with this one, it really depends on what you're wanting to get out of your 8" Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED. If all you want is a small amount of air circulation and some light breeze, then it's going to be an absolute ripper but if you wanted to create some real gusts to battle the heat, then you might want to look at something a little bigger. 

G'day Amy,

Unfortunately, the Coleman Rechargeable Fan with LED doesn't come with any sort of warning or cut out system for low voltage when it's charging using 12v. 

G'day Linda,

There is no 'lifetime' timeframe provided for the rechargeable battery sorry as this ultimately depends on how you maintain and use it.

In regards to sourcing a new one, you'd need to visit a battery specialist like Battery World who may be able to help you out.

It's highly unlikely however that you'll need to replace the battery for some time.

G'day Mike,

I can't find any side images of the Coleman Rechargable Fan from Coleman, however, can you shoot me an email at service@snowys.com.au with attention to Ben and I'll snap a photo of our display stock and email it through to you?

G'day Mike,

If you plug the Coleman Rechargeable Fans in whilst the switch is set to 'DC', the fan will cut out and the battery will charge. However... if you flick the switch to 'AC' whilst the unit is plugged into a power source, the fan will run and the charge indicator will show. This will then give you the added back up ability to run off the battery if ever required.

Hi Greg,

The reason you switch to DC when connected to 240V to recharge is so that the fan doesn’t run when it’s charging if that makes sense – so I would follow what the instructions say regarding that.

You can charge this unit somewhat with a 12V source, but it will be a slow trickle charge so you’re not going to be able to get a full charge on it without draining your car battery, so we would recommend giving it a full charge on 240V source as per the manual. 

Hi Annette, 

I've had a look at the instructions and you're right that bit of info isn't in there, but it's feedback that I'd be happy to pass onto Coleman for you though. 

It's good to hear that you're enjoying your rechargeable fan Annette - you've got to have a cool breeze going when the weather is warm!
