You will need to purchase a deep-cycle marine battery with around a 50 amp hour storage. If reserve capacity is all that is given on the battery, multiply the RC by .4167 to determine amp hour storage.
Tip: If you can buy a true deep-cycle battery rather than the marine/rv hybrid battery then do that.
We recommend 9' of galvanized ground rod (1/2"-5/8" diameter) to properly ground this system for maximum shock.
This system can efficiently energize(6-10kv) up to 3 miles of 9-strand mixed-metals Polybraid, single strand and ~ 6 miles of 12.5 ga hi-tensile. Results do vary depending on the quality of grounding system, soil conductivity, soil type, moisture content, etc,..
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Speedrite 3000 is the largest energizer that we recommend using on electric fence that consists of only polywire. If you only are using polywire, do not go with a larger charger as this can damage the unit. The reason is that an energizer's effectiveness is largely determined by matching its capability with the correct amount of fencing. Putting a large charger on an inadequate amount of fencing may cause the unit to overheat and damage itself.
Here are the proper steps for connecting your solar components.
1: Connect the +/- leads of the included 24" battery leadset to the charge controller and then the battery. The battery and charge controller must be connected before connecting the solar panel to the charge controller. Failure to connect or disconnect in the proper sequence will damage your charge controller.
2: Connect the +/- solar panel leads to charge controller.
3: Connect the +/- 12v leads from energizer directly to battery posts.
Optional: There is wiring for the "Load" on the charge controller for the energizer to connect to, but we recommend connecting the energizer directly to the battery instead.
