Nice job. You got both those fans hooked up directly to the batteries? If so, do you think they add much drain on the batt's?

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....
