Quality fence charger... Does one exist?

[bfitz3]

I had a zereba solar charger. Worked for a season. Kaput!

Just installed another Zereba charger, 110v, this spring (may). Kaput!

I'm done with zareba.

Before I dump another couple hundred bucks into a new charger, I'd like to find a brand that will last and won't break the bank. Any suggestions? Did I just win the charger-fail-lottery or is this to be expected with modern chargers?

(My childhood memory says that every charger I ever saw was a metal behemoth covered in an inch of dust, manure, bird droppings, whatever. Makes me think e of timey ones were built to last. The new ones are built to sell anger one.)

I just replaced a 37 year old charger ! I looked at all kinds of new ones
they all had 1 feature I did not like or want Automatic charging with a circuit
board that read your battery . The one I bought has one word on it that no other
one had MANUAL . Found it at Canadian tire in Canada for 149$ on sale Half price
Can charge a totally flat batter ,has boost capabilities and other options
should last the rest of my life Yes it is a large wheeled model

Sorry... I was not clear in my post... I'm looking for an electric fence charger. . I need something with some oomph for a small space. I have an orchard that needs to be protected from hoards of deer, and a bee yard that may see an occasional bear.
