Might take the battery up to your local Autozone/O'Reilly/Checker/Pep Boys/etc. and get them to check it.

Clean the posts on the battery. Check the grounds from the engine to the frame.

You really don't want to run a Mark VIII fan off the battery-it'll never charge with the amount of amperage that fan draws. Are you using a relay activation, controller or what? -Jabin

Jabin, I don't think he's talking about the fan, I think he's talking about the entire car.
