Hi,
No need for a separate battery. Depending on how much current the new electrical fan requires, you will need to upgrade the electrical system. Perhaps a larger alternator and some wiring changes.

There are a lot of clean electric fan controllers out there, kind of like this one:

which will work great and allow for stealth install, or doing the traditional thermostatic probe switch and relay setup can work

I run a dual electric fan off a thermostatic controller I bought from summit. You can hide the relay, run all the wires off the battery, and all you will see is the sensor and one wire running to it.

Do yourself a favor and get the fan and shroud combo from a Ford Taurus (if it fits your radiator size)
Guys play with all kinds of electric fan setups and it is one I have heard the best things about.
As a matter of fact I saw one brand new in the box for sale here recently, and I think he was asking 100 bucks or so for it.

I bought my dual fan set up from challengergary here on FABO. I actually bought my Champion aluminum radiator, fans and shroud from him. I should have ordered the thermostatic fan switch from him, but I stupidly thought I'd just run an on/off switch inside the car. The first time out I forgot to turn off the switch and came out to a dead battery. I bought the thermostatic unit from Summit. It works pretty darn well.

That's REAL close to the same thing I mentioned, thanks.
He say's:
The fans come courtesy of a 1995-2000 Ford Contour. Dual electric fans, high and low speed, with a shroud that just about fit my 26" Champion radiator like it was made for it. To get it mounted I added a couple of 1/8" by 2" aluminum bar, and used the original mounting brackets on the fan.

Here is some pics from a while back. The only thing I didn't mention is the radiator support has to be trimmed to move the radiator towards the front bumper to clear the water pump.
The motor of the fan is very close to the water pump pulley.

Creative use of the ford fans! There are a lot of cool, shiny rads to go with those fans out there

This is covered much on the H.A.M.B. hot rodder website. Many there like the Ford 2-speed fans. Get the fan from the junkyard and you can buy a dual relay kit for it on ebay. It requires a two step temperature switch.

Not to interupt, but I just noticed where you live.
We used to live in Santa Maria.
No way! That's awesome! How long ago? Did you know any of the mopar guys there?

It was about 15 years ago, and my wife, kids and I lived on W.Cook street.
I worked at the Aamco there as shop forman and stick shift tech, and we had a White 70 Coronet and a blue metalic 69 Coronet four door.
We didn't really know any other people with Mopars at the time.
