Balfour Duo 2200

The Balfour Duo 1500 is the a mid level energiser in the our Balfour Duo range. With being a 'Duo' unit, it can be powered by both mains (must be mounted inside) and from a 12v battery when outside.

This model has an OUTPUT JOULE rating of 1.5J which will power a 8km stretch of electric fencing. Under normal line resistance levels of 500 Ohms it will still put a 4,700v pulse through the fence so it's suitable for medium length horse fences. Capable of powering 3 poultry / rabbit nets.

This unit is the little brother to the Balfour Duo 3000 and the only difference besides the slightly lower power output, is this unit does not come with an inbuilt on/off switch. This is not normally a problem as most folk remove a battery lead to turn it off but it's worth noting nevertheless.

It's German made and comes with a 3 year warranty.

The cables to connect to both mains and battery are included in the box as are the leads to connect to an earth stake and the fence when the unbit is on a 12v battery. Cable to connect the unit to the fence an an earth stake when being powered from the mains are not included band both the 1.6mm & 2.5mm insulated cable scan be used with this energiser and various lengths can be chosen at .

For earthing we would recommend either a 1m earth stake if using from the mains, and if using with a 12v battery in the field, the combined earth/stand is a perfect for most fences. The black earth lead, included, can be attached to this and the unit hung vertically with the stake pushed into the ground next to your battery. This stand/earth stake does not come with the unit as standard but is an optional extra.

Our Opinion
Another excellent value for money energiser at a great price. The earth stake makes it very easy to mount & move around outside although we would like the on/off switch the the slightly larger Balfour Duo 3000. The 3yr warranty gives piece of mind.
