Aldi Solar panel - Fencer unit battery


Recommended Posts

Folks, Aldi have some solar panel's on offer for about £30, Has anyone tried them ?

We have been thinking of trying one on the battery that powers the fencer unit for the fence around our pen.  The more we can prolong the battery life the better !

In your case where around a pen, and just for summer use probably not too bad, and will prolong. I went for a bigger panel off eBay and a waterproof charge controller (need to stop the battery from frying if you use a charging panel size eg 20W) rather than maintaining which is what the Aldi one should do. I use mine for sheep electric fence so need all year round charging.

Just in case you were considering one for your car - they do not work on many cars - to check you need to see if your cigarette lighter works with the ignition OFF - if it does then you should be ok.

Most come with crocodile clips you can connect direct to the battery!
