Hotline Mains Energisers - Super Eage, Condor and Peregrine
These energisers run from the mains (230 volt via the included mains adapter), with the option of a 12 volt battery back-up. They are made here in the UK in Newton Abbott and come with an impressive 5 year warranty. They have an LED 'load' light that lets you now the energiser is on and gives a good indication of the actual voltage on your fence line, giving reassurance that your electric fence is working effectively.. They also have high and low output terminals (pop it on high to train your animals, then to the low setting once the animals respect the fence).
These energisers are designed to be wall mounted.

We Say: We love the Hotline brand - always reliable and good customer service - plus a 5 year warranty. These energisers are great value, but the distances given are based on 'ideal' circumstances - we recommend you assume about half of the given distances!
