brekin67 Posted September 14, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I am taking a tent fan I just bought from Wal Mart. It uses 8 D batteries. If you have used a tent fan, how long will the batteries last in it. I want to use it at night for about 7 hours per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viaggi_per_mare Posted September 14, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I am taking a tent fan I just bought from Wal Mart. It uses 8 D batteries.If you have used a tent fan, how long will the batteries last in it. I want to use it at night for about 7 hours per night. We have one and it has a high/low setting. On real good alkaline batteries, it will run about 3 hours on high and about 5 1/2 hours on low. If you use rechargeable batteries (like we do on the cruise), it is about 2 1/2 hours on high and about 4 hours on low. We bring two sets of rechargeable D batteries (yes that is 16 batteries) and we have a rule....he who gets up first in the middle of the night to potty, changes the batteries. .....sure was easier when for years and many cruises we just used an electric fan.

brekin67 Posted September 14, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I did not realize they had D sized rechargeable. I will need to head back to Wal Mart. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
