Hey whats up, I have a phone charger that reads:

Input: 120V ac 60Hz
Output:6v dc 300mA

Will this work for a pc fan, or maybe even 2? thanx for any help.

if on the fan it says
Output:6v dc

but im thinking most pc fans will be 12v so you really should try and find one that says
Output:12v dc

blaze1 is correct. Most PC fans are 12v. The six volt cell charger will run the fan just not at full speed. But the charger will get hot. Not really a good idea. I have two 12v PC fans wired in series to a 24v supply.

Hey just out of curiosity, could you then plug 4 12v PC fans into a 48v supply? And if so, how the hell would you wire that?
