there is no fan
it is an 'intelligent' charger
It works out what the battery needs and tops it up accordingly.
I usually rotate which battery gets charged and it works out to every third day.
Never had a days problem with a battery going flat since I started to use this charger.

I've had mine about 18 months and not had any problems with it, yes it has got a fan and it can be annoying, when I go to bed I step the charge down from 6amps to 2amps as while charging at that rate the fan switches off.
