1. What is The Battery Recharge cycle Time

The battery recharge cycle time tells you how many times the built-in battery in the fan can be discharged and recharged before the battery becomes weak or used up.

What this means is that a battery with a battery recharge cycle time of 500 will last for about 500 days if it is discharged and recharged every single day.

2. Charging Time & Operating Time

The charging time tells you how long it takes for the battery to fully charge. while the operating time is how long the fan will operate on a fully charge battery.

These two factors are probably the most important parameter to look out for when buying a rechargeable fan. If you can’t sees this information yourself on the package or manual, you can speak to a customer care representative of the store you are buying from to give you the details in full.

The importance of doing this cannot be overstressed as you do not want to charge your fan all day only to get just 2 hours of usage only. now that is just so funny when you think about it.

While some perform the basic function required of them: which is cooling a room, some have got additional features to further entice you into buying them.

Battery type is an important consideration. This will help you determine if the battery will be replaceable when it dies finally.

The best models are the ones that come with battery (generic battery) that you can easily buy at local stores. This ensures you can find replacement battery for sure.

5. Accessories

There are certain brands that place various accessories their rechargeable fans. Some embedded lights to their fans, while some other brands come with micro USB port(s) that makes the fan double as a power bank to recharge your gadgets: mobile phones; tablets; mp3 players.
