DIY Solar Powered Electric Fence Charger System

After, using a number of different and expensive solar powered fence chargers, nothing would work. Even on the most expensive units the battery would die after a few days of cloudy weather. So I built my own electric fence energizer setup that is more powerful, has 2.1 times more battery life and duration, 3.3 times more power or joule output, and 3.3 times faster solar recharging rate than the most expensive charger system. See the links below on where to order the parts for this system.

Thanks! What are you currently raising?

Thanks for the video. Does it get pretty warm inside the bucket with heat output from some of the components?

[@farmerjeffsiewicki]

not at all, because there are no motors. Just electric battery and charger. it definately gets hotter in the bucket from the sunlight but it hasn't affected performance at all.

Thanks-I had recently seen a RICH solar charger with what looked like heat sink fins on the back of it-so had me wondering.
