Hello,
This is a little project that I'm working on and would like some input from experts :)
Here is a diagram of what I'm trying to do.

Basically, I want to hook up a small computer fan to a button/toggle switch and a 9volt battery.
I know it works. I have tested it out and seems to do what I want, But I wanted to know if It could be done better or if I'm missing anything important. Is it normal for the battery to heat up so much.
I don't know much about this stuff so go easy on me. Thanks

TRY GETTING A FAN FROM A HOBBIE SHOP, THEY HAVE REALLY LOW CURENT DRAWS FOR MODELS
 
This fan (shown in the prevous post) should be low power and if you wanted to, you could add a battery for low light paintball battles.
