Can't say what bigabike's fans are rated but they don't draw much current.

The larger 50-60mm ones are typically 200-300ma and the small ones are only 100-200ma. It does vary of course and depends on what voltage they run on. I would guess bigabikes are about 400ma combined.

What's that mean? In a 15 minute run (at 400ma draw), they would only "use" 100mah of battery.

If they are 5V fans, it will be even less drain....
