    from your post I take it's a mains fencer? if so you would need an inverter

    God, that's given me an idea ;)

    I've one of those inverters. It'I give you 230-240V from a 12V supply, but only something like around 300W. It's ideal to power a laptop, camcorder etc. Must check the label on the side of a mains fencer to see what Watts it needs, not a clue.

    We've a bit of land 7-8 acres away from house and was thinking of putting one strand of HT electic around it. Would a battery one power it or would it need mains? We'd probably be breaking it up temporarily with a strand of MS across it from time to time.

    120 to 150 including battery in our local (not so) friendly co-op store.
