What you need to know before purchasing portable fans
Portable fans are nothing new, though there are many different versions out there. There are regular handheld fans, USB fans, portable stroller fans and now neck fans emerging. Most fans are charged with a USB-C charger, though some stick to the old micro-USB.
The average battery life of a portable fan is around 7-8 hours. However, that depends on how long and how intensely you’re using it, as well as the battery capacity. So, don’t expect a fan with a tiny capacity of 800mAH at full pelt to last you through those long adventurous hiking trails. It takes a couple of hours to fully charge a fan on average.
