If you wire the fan in series, there will be a slight voltage drop across the fan because of the resistance of the motor, this will mean the discharger will cut off too early. The fan will also restrict the current flow.
If you wire them in parallel, then you should be ok. There will be a very slight voltage drop because of the increased current draw, but this will be minuscule. I can't see any problems with doing that. If you need a piccie, let me know and I'll draw something up.
