[QUOTE="Bob-s, post: 1699987, member: 38134"] I have built a couple of solar 12 volt chargers using 12volt 7AH SLA batteries wired parallel. I also use an inexpensive charge controller to keep the batteries charged properly. One has been in use on a 2 mile fence for over 3 years and the batteries still maintains a full charge. I think the controller is the key ingredient. I use either a 10 or 20 watt solar panel. I built wooden boxes to house the electronics and the panel fits on top. A 2x2 square tube is attached so it fits on a t-post. A bit heavy to move but it is possible. I've considered using a plastic container with a lid for my next one. [/QUOTE]
