Does this charger have a built in cooling fan? Thanks to all that have answered, I've decided to look for a larger charger as my needs are for continuous duty.

No, to the best of my knowledge, it does not have a cooling fan and if It did I'm sure I would hear it running. I have three chargers and none have a cooling fan. Good luck.

No...as far as I know it does NOT have a cooling fan but it does have a heat sensor that breaks the charge until the unit cools down and restarts at the same level as you have selected .

The product I received did NOT have the stated "patented" cooling holes on the back, and was identical (including model number on the back) to another I ordered. I do not have the Koolpad charger but I doubt this will; run cooler than that one.

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

Yes...but the difference is minimal. This charger is well made, yet inexpensive. I have had no issues with it.

This is only a trickle charger, 16Watts under bright sunlight. Not knowing your cooling system wattage it is hard to answer. If the cooling system uses any kind of motor or compressor I doubt it will be enough.

Mine came with a battery, and the charger is large enough to stay pretty cool, this computer draws quite a bit of power. The screen produces a briliant picture, unlike most laptops, thus needing more power. The cooling air exits the computer is only slightly warmer the ambient air, unlike my 18 in hp(discontinued) which almost burnt my hand and had a poor picture.

Pretty much. Sometimes fan runs in C-Max for a bit, but yes it does stop charging.

If you are concerned about the USB hub that's on it, it all depends on the drivers, but if you are concerned about the cooling fan itself, the only reason why it wouldn't be fully functional is if you can set the exact speed you want, otherwise, it's only using the power available from the USB port. Of course, you could always MacGyver it to use batteries independent of the computer you're cooling.

It is meant to charge a 12 volt battery and works well, so I would assume you would also need a battery hooked up in line that would feed the fan.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

Well mine came with one to charge off your pc, but I bought that particular charger your asking about separate. It works great.

Yes it does. In my experience it isnt heavy enough to handle the current on prolonged use. Mine stays plugged in for 6 days at a time and it melted so I replaced it with a heavier one. This is my 3rd cooler in 10+ yrs. and the worst I have had yet. The original model still works great but I replaced it because it had gotten pretty beat up. The second and third ones are slightly different than the original and cooled great for about a month. The fan went out in the second and the switch went out on the third. I took parts from each and made one that works. I have used it for several months with no issues. Yes it does. In my experience it isnt heavy enough to handle the current on prolonged use.

aloha teri,there is no a/c cord for the fan, but there is a 2.0 standard USB plug,which should fit any USB outlet on a computer it also has an additional outlet on the cord,so you dont lose any data ports. sincerely Todd, P.S. i am able to plug both the cooling fan and a small lighted x-mas tree, at the same time,into just one port.

I leave mine plugged in all the time and it's cool right now. Not even warm. The charger that came with mine originally didn't work at all. This one is perfect!

we leave our plugged in all the time and it stays cool. The factory charge that this replaced did get slightly warm.

I don't believe so but to be honest I have never heard the fan. So if it does run, it is very quite. I re-purposed the supply a little over a month ago and it is under a 28 amp continuous load. It is only warm to the touch and it has been rock solid. I'm considering a second one and I would most certainly purchase the same model again.

I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work. I ordered a secondcharger and when I received it had no output when hooked tothe cart. After some surfingand a call to the MFR I figured it was the cart controller sensingthe charge voltage and shutting off the charger. After I bypassed thecart controller so the charger fed the batteries directly all was fine.So now I have have two chargers........they work fine.By the way the MFR was very nice to discuss my issue withme and was very satisfied. Good luck. I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work.
