So the Glacier Breeze says it can run up to 10 hours, but is that with or without using the ice chamber? I feel like when I toss in some ice cubes the fan seems to drain faster, but maybe it’s just me. Anyone else notice that or am I overthinking it?

I think the 10 hours is probably on low speed with no ice. Tossing ice in might make it work harder to push air through, so yeah, it’d drain faster. Not really something to worry about though, it still lasts pretty long for what it is.

I mean, I just don’t use the ice chamber much for that reason. The 10 hour claim is definitely on low with no ice. If I want colder air for a bit I’ll toss some in, but I know it’s going to cut the runtime in half. Just pick whichever matters more to you at the moment.

I just skip the ice chamber altogether. Battery life is already short enough without making it worse.

I barely use the ice chamber myself, so I can’t really say for sure. But I do think the 10 hours is more of a best case scenario with low fan and no extras. Still works fine for what I need it for though

I dunno, I actually don’t think the ice chamber makes that big of a difference to the battery. I use mine with ice pretty often and still get close to the 10 hours on low. Maybe you’re just noticing it more because you’re checking.

I don’t think it’s that dramatic honestly. I use ice pretty often and the battery still lasts long enough for me.

Honestly I don’t even notice a difference with the ice chamber. I toss ice in there when I remember and the battery still gets me through a workday on low.

I barely use the ice chamber either so I’ve never really tested it, but I’d guess the 10 hours is on low with no ice. Still works fine for me just as a fan.

I think most of the time when they list battery life, it’s for the lowest fan setting without any extras running. I usually keep mine on medium and skip the ice, and I get maybe 6 or 7 hours out of it, which is fine for me. The ice probably does pull a little extra power, but I haven’t really tested it side by side or anything.

I mean, it’s probably just you. The ice chamber doesn’t draw any power, it’s just water or ice sitting there. Battery drain is gonna depend more on what fan speed you’re using.

I doubt the ice chamber affects battery life directly, since it’s just ice sitting there. The 10 hour claim is probably on low speed with no extras.

The 10 hour claim is probably on low without ice, that’s usually how they pad those numbers. But the ice itself doesn’t drain the battery, it’s just sitting there melting. If anything, you might be running it on a higher speed to feel the cool air more, which would kill the battery faster.

I feel like the ice chamber is just there for a bit of extra coolness, not really gonna mess with the battery since it’s just sitting there doing nothing to the fan itself. The 10 hour mark is probably on low without it, but I’ve had mine last a full day on medium with ice and it was fine.

I doubt the ice chamber is doing anything to the battery, it’s literally just ice sitting in a tray. The fan does all the work, so the battery drain is probably just from running it on a higher speed without realizing it.

Alright, that all makes sense. I think I was just overthinking it because the fan felt cooler and I was running it longer on a higher setting. Appreciate the replies, I’ll stop worrying about the ice cubes now.
