Patriot PBX50 fence charger (12v)

Details

Half a joule of output from 0.67 stored joules, and a Patriot rating of up to 15 miles or 60 acres. The PBX50 is the small end of the battery range, built for smaller fence lines where there is no power available and no reason to buy bigger. It runs on a 12 volt battery and takes an external solar panel. That covers the jobs a lot of acreage owners and small operators actually have: a horse paddock out past the shelterbelt, a couple of pens at a remote water source, a boundary along a road allowance where running power would cost more than the fence did. It is a low impedance unit with an LED indicator and a robust knob, and it mounts on a wall, a wood post or a T-post so you can put it where it suits the line. Patriot backs it with a three-year warranty including lightning protection. Size honestly. If the run is longer than the rating or the wire runs through grass and brush, step up to a bigger unit rather than accept a fence that reads low by August.
