Hey everyone! I just picked up a Parkside fan and plan to mainly use it in my workshop. I'm looking for advice on whether there are any third-party DC or AC adapters I can use instead of the battery. I'm considering utilizing a 20V voltage regulator with alligator clips, but I'm curious if there's a more durable solution out there. Another option I'm thinking about is modifying a third-party battery adapter to work with a DC adapter. What do you all think?

A laptop power supply could work along with a battery adapter; that should give you a solid solution. Just be careful with the voltage to avoid damaging your fan!
I've seen some similar products on AliExpress that might do the trick for you. Just make sure to check the specs to ensure compatibility with your fan.
You might want to consider getting a battery conversion shoe. It could allow you to use regular DC power while still fitting the fan's original setup.
Honestly, if it were me, I’d just take it back and get a 240V fan instead. But I get it, you might want to use it at places with no power, like your wife's farm.
