Hello everyone! This is my first post XD

I have a little bit of a problem with replacing a fan on a UPS (Uniterruptable power supply). The problem is, the fan that has died is a highish amperage (.43A), this is fan is a standard 80mm computer fan, and it's 12V. The thing i'm wondering is, if i put a lower amp fan in it, say .15A will this cause the unit to overheat? Because of my remoteness and the urgentness of a replacement, i can't get one with the same amperage, so if anybody could help me out that'd be nice :).

Thanks for your time!
 
no it just means that the old fan pulls more power and thus making it a more powerful motor, you can stick a lower amperage fan in it and it will work fine.
