Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
When you connected it direct to the battery, did you provide both power from the battery plus a ground? Often times, a weak ground can cause resistance and lower the power supply.
Let me know if that is what you did. If it is, provide a new ground for the fan. If it is not, check the wiring for resistance issues, bad connections.
Here is a link that discusses how to check wiring:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
