I have 2 of them, both cheap models that I use for temporary fencing. One is a Patriot, and from my experience and from what I've been told, it's not worth much. I won't buy another one like it.

I also have an older Zabera brand that I've had for years. I've replaced several batteries in it, and it keeps on working. It's not real hot, but then I believe that if I grounded it good, it would be better.

As with anything else, you get what you pay for. Solar powered fences are no different. Buy once, cry once.
