The Sprite can be powered by 12v external battery and by two 6v PJ996 batteries housed

internally. The Sprite uses battery life at a rate related to the load represented by your fence,

if your fence is long and/or susceptible to ‘leakage’ from vegetation, the battery will run down at a faster rate as the energiser maintains effective voltage. For high leakage fences, such as poultry netting, we recommend operating from a 12v battery only and if you wish using the 6v batteries to provide a backup when power is low or are charging the 12v
