FanBatt™

Heat and a dying phone battery tend to arrive together on summer commutes, at festivals and while travelling. FanBatt™ addresses both with a single handheld device: a small fan and a power bank sharing one enclosure that, the maker says, fits in one hand.

Fan and battery in one

According to the campaign, the fan offers three speed settings, ranging from a gentle breeze suited to desk work to a turbo mode for hot, humid conditions outdoors. The maker describes the fan as designed for quiet operation, suitable for libraries, offices or sleeping, and says the airflow angle is adjustable so it can be aimed at the face or neck.

The power bank side is rated at 5,000mAh, which the maker says is enough for roughly 1.5 full charges of an iPhone. It uses a USB-C port and is described as supporting fast charging. The headline feature is that the fan and battery can operate at the same time, letting a phone charge while the fan runs.

Build and design

• Housing made of ABS resin, described by the maker as lightweight and durable
• LED indicator showing remaining battery level
• Three fan speed settings with adjustable airflow angle
• USB-C port with fast charging support, per the campaign
• Colour options based on white and black

The styling is simple and minimal, with white and black colourways intended to suit both work and casual settings. The source notes the project reached its funding goal shortly after its Kickstarter campaign began.
