Solar powered fence energizer

[hamish]

I used to have a solar panel which i connected to my 12v battery on the electric fence which did the trick and the battery had lasted several years until the cattle trampled it to pieces last year. Since being without it i have already worn out 2 heavy duty batteries.

Can anyone reccomend a solar powered fence energizer that is available in the UK?

Gallagher do one but it seems to only be available in the US.

There's a good one on Ebay, £114. Tried to copy link but it wouldn't work! Also another one at £87.

I got the cheap Fi-shock from Ebay last year, think it was <£80 and it has been great! I stored it wrapped in bin-bags over winter and left it in the sun 48hrs before re-using. I'm only running a max of 400m though, and we have had soooo much sun this summer. It has been 100% reliable unlike batteries!!!!
