AKO Compact Power AN 550 – mobile 12V electric fence energiser for hobby use

The AKO Compact Power AN 550 is an inexpensive, robust 12V electric fence energiser built for mobile use. It's perfectly suited to short fences with little vegetation – ideal for paddocks, trail riding, simple cattle fences or mobile pet fencing in the garden. Thanks to its reduced impact strength, the unit is also gentle enough for smaller animals such as dogs, cats, poultry and rabbits.

The energiser delivers high herding safety at low amperage, making it a versatile all-rounder that's also effective for keeping herons away. It runs on a 12V battery (not included), with optional solar support thanks to the built-in connections. A function-control LED and a separate battery warning indicator keep you informed of the unit's status, while integrated deep discharge protection extends your battery's lifespan. The weather-resistant housing is built for outdoor use and can also be wall-mounted for a permanent setup.

Weidezaungerät wurde ohne Akku...

Weidezaungerät wurde ohne Akku geliefert. Es ist bei der Bestellung kaum zu erkennen, dass das Gerät ohne Akku gelliefert wird. Habe es mittlerweile an eine Autobatterie angeschlossen, was gut funktioniert. Akku muss gesondert gekauft werden. Wäre empfehlenswert, beim Weidezaungerät darauf hinzuweisen, dass dieses mitgeliefert werden kann. Natürlich mit Preisauszeichnung.
