AKO Sun Power S 500 Solar Electric Fence Energiser 8 Watt 12V, 0.75 Joule

AKO Sun Power S 500 solar electric fence energiser – off-grid pasture protection

The solar electric fence energiser AKO Sun Power S 500 is the ideal choice for normal fences without vegetation and is perfect for horse and cattle pastures. Thanks to its optimised construction it is specially designed for maintenance-free continuous operation over the main grazing season, independent of the mains supply.

Equipped with a High/Low/Off switch and a power-saving circuit when battery voltage drops, this microcontroller-controlled device offers intelligent battery management with deep discharge protection. This guarantees a longer battery life, even during long periods of bad weather. An integrated lightning protection function and a robust, waterproof housing with carrying handle ensure reliable use on the pasture.
