13W Solar briefcase

Maplins seem to be selling these cheap again. Under £50 for a 13W solar briefcase http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.as...p;ModuleNo=99760&doy=19m6#faq

Also a lot of other solar panels, etc if anyone is interested in those kinds of things. Can be handy to keep a car battery charged if it's not in use much. I've already got a 12W one on the landy to keep the battery charged.

Assuming you have a battery to connect it to then yeah, no reason why it wouldn't. I'm assuming that your electric fence isn't draining constantly so it should keep the battery charged I'd have thought.

Ina it is not water tight.  Mine charges my caravan battery but it is located inside the caravan.

oh that's right, it's not. The one I have is, well it still works despite it being tied to the roof of the disco for a while... Only removed it and put it inside the car after we started getting some very high winds and I was scared that it was going to either get damaged or blow off and hit the STi
