Best Electric fence charger for ultralight backcountry setup

Hi all!
For those of you out there using electric fence setups could you weigh in on your favorite fence chargers. Name brand, size/weight, and whether they’re solar or battery charged.

I like this One. Gallagher S12, that being said I haven't had others to compare it with.
My wife said it doesn't seem to shock much as the kids were ducking under it. I read that if you take off your shoes it gives more kick since you're more grounded.

bisblue thanks for that! That is one I have been considering. I’m looking for the most compact and light weight option. Do you happen to know the dimensions and weight?
I’ll be using it to contain my two horses while in the backcountry. They already have a reverence for hot wire so they will not likely test it.

I think I run the patriot pb12. It runs on 4 d batteries which are really the substantial weight component. The rest of the parts are super light. Batteries last and really long time as long as there isn't a short (like grass touching the wires).

Just make sure you run a hot/ground/hot wire pattern. Three wires work and 5 is better.
