No don't power it straight from the battery. You can fry it. I did. Power it from the reciver. Unless your esc is designed for a plug for a fan.

How to power the fan depends on the fan's intended voltage.
A 12V fan can be run off the battery (2S or 3S) while a 6V fan is better plugged into the Rx.
