Will the car battery drain if the car fan is left on overnight?

It mainly depends on the battery's charge level. If it has sufficient charge, it won't drain. Below is the relevant information: 1. Car Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Definition: The normal service life ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. Under normal circumstances where the vehicle's alternator recharges properly and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years. If you notice that the battery isn't charging properly, the starter is weak, or the headlights are significantly dimmer, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours using a charger. If this doesn't resolve the issue and the mileage exceeds 50,000 km with no alternator faults, it may be time to consider replacing the battery.
