In fact, I've looked at this situation a bit more and still think that if you had wired one fan to run whenever the bike was on, you would have achieved the same result, perhaps even slightly better. Again, more rad surface without airflow....
Depends on the amps the fan is pulling. If its high enough and is on constant, it will hurt the battery. I don't trust these little batteries. I never said running the fan from time to time was bad. I was stating from a "constant" on.
