Anyone have a recommendation for a low draw, USB powered tent fan to keep the air circulating inside a tent?

I've gone through a couple of the small, USB powered desk fans and thought I'd see if there was something else out there that anyone had found success with.

I haven't heard many good things about the little usb powered fans in terms of durability and power. I am considering getting a Miluakee 18v fan because I already have the batteries from my drill. It's also able to be run off A/C I think. So you could run it off an inverter.

No worries, glad to help. Just a thought I use Miluakee cordless tools but I know that Dewalt, Makita, Hitachi and Ryobi make cordless fans as well so if your cordless tools are not Miluakee there are other options. I do like the Miluakee cordless tools though as they carry a 5 year warranty.

After my year long search for the perfect low draw fan.....There is none hahaha I did the same as above. Got a battery powered shop fan that worked with the batteries for my cordless impact and chain saw. I just keep the charger plugged to the inverter and rotate batteries. works great!

Sounds like the way I should (and will) go.
