We are looking to utilise our mains fence energiser to charge a 12 volt battery, located about 5 km along the electrified fence.
Is it possible to invert the pulse from the fence to charge the battery?

Remember, electric fence energizers are designed to run of a battery and to use this battery very efficient. (read this and this for more information), but in short, Power out = Power In – losses. These units consume between 2 – 20 watts of power, (continuous). A pulsed voltage signal is difficult to use as a source of power. You will need some serious electronics converting the pulsed high voltage signal into usable power to charge batteries with.
Thanks for comment.
We have the elec fence already out that part of farm, and the closest mains supply is back at energiser.
We hoping there is a solution to provide some battery charging ability at the remote location without going to added hardware of solar etc.
What is the result if we wrap a coil around the single electric fence wire, will a current be generated by EMF?
The fence runs 24/7 and the battery will only require intermittent loading.
