Curious if anyone has considered putting that cooling fan on a switch so it can be shut off in cold weather start up conditions? Machine can be a little cold blooded and those Vanguards don't like to idle anyway...

Seems like that cooling fan is pulling too much out of my battery... and I periodically have to remember and put the thing on a charger to top the battery back off. It's a good, strong battery, I just don't think that charging system can keep up with that fan constantly running.

Contemplating the addition of an alternator as an option as well...

Any thoughts? Anybody done or dealt with something similar?
