[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1079613, member: 17764"] You cannot use just any old battery on these type of solar fencers. You need a battery that can be run down and charged up again - a deep cycle marine or RV battery. Personally I do not believe that there is ANY outfit that makes a decent solar charged system. And I have enough solar panels in my yard that the power company pays me thousands of dollars a year for the power I sell the them - so I may not be a PhD expert, but I am a bit knowledgeable as I am a commercial producer of solar power - yeah, even in Canada we can do this. Not all solar panels and chargers are created equal either. Hope you kept the receipt - sometimes a small bump can screw the pooch as well. Personally I would buy a plug in - electricity is cheap - it take a lot of years of use before you pay for that solar powered system - a heck of a lot! In the end you seldom save money using solar - it is only good if there is no way to plug in a fencer in my opinion Bez [/QUOTE]
