Does anyone have any data on electric fence controllers? I'm trying to fix one that uses a 6V battery for power.

There's plenty out there if you google, but they're mostly 12V.
If you want to build from scratch you could try to find a supplier that still stocks 6V scooter ignition coils, or maybe a 12V car coil that's designed to work with a ballast resistor.

Does your controller have a patent number? Manufacturer/Assignee?

Are you trying to fix one of the really old ones that use a 6 volt dry cell pack, or one like Harbor freight sells that is solar charge? The really old ones used a 6 volt turn signal flasher to close the circuit. Don't think they are legal in any state, now. I have one of the Harbor Freight units that has a bad solar charging circuit. Never had time to look at it. If this is what you have, would be very interested in what you find is wrong with them.
