Best Answer

Chemical energy stored in a battery is converted into electrical energy which drives the fan (converting the electrical energy to kinetic energy of the moving fan blades).

This kinetic energy of the fan blades is then converted into kinetic energy of the surrounding air, and also there will be some heat generated too.
