anything that plugs into a wall (like desk fans) run on main power and thus rnt good for combat use (unless u wanna get 240 volts of batteries in somthing).

Are you refering to 240V ac desk fans?
I havn't seen any 240V ac batteries before. Wink There are electrical doohickies thats can change 24V dc into 240V ac but I think they are complicated and heavy which is why no one uses them. 50 times simpler to use a 12/24V dc motor.
