    Fireboard w/Pit Viper fan and battery back

    When powering the Pit Viper fan via a battery pack, does the battery pack actually plug into the Drive Cable or to the Fireboard unit itself? I already have the Fireboard, Drive Cable and Pit Viper fan and want to understand how to use a battery pack before buying one. From what I've seen the battery pack connects via micro-USB, so I'm thinking it connects directly to the Fireboard unit itself and not the Drive Cable. Is that correct??

    Plug that battery pack into the FB control unit. I only use it if I am cooking remotely, otherwise I like to just plug it into the wall.

      Spinaker That's what I suspected. Thanks!

    I agree with Spinaker . It plugs via the usb cable. I rarely use it and unless you are planning on cooking somewhere without electricity, I would skip it. I plug mine into the wall almost 100% of the time. I would spend the money on competition probes or some other items you are wanting.

      I use a battery pack 100% of the time when I use my fan as I don’t have an accessible outlet. I bought a cheap one through Amazon.
