## Description

Product Description The fence charger is the heart of your electric fence system. Controlling livestock in a location without access to AC power is easy with the Zareba 5 Mile Solar Fence Charger. With the Zareba 5 Mile Solar Low Impedance Fence Charger your electric fencing can have power from anywhere. This fence charger runs up to 2 weeks without sunlight and is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. With 0.15 output joules, this energizer will support animals and livestock such as cattle, horses, pigs, and goats. This charger energizes up to 5 miles of fencing, although if using poly products, you should expect about half of the power. The more material along the fence line, the harder the energizer must work to pass voltage through the line. To prepare the 5 Mile Solar Charger for first use, place the unit in full sun for 3 days in the off position. After this charging period, the unit is ready to use and install. Set the charger's integrated mounting bracket onto a T-post, Y-post, or round-wood post. On T-posts specifically the charger can rotate 360 degrees to face the suns changing directions. The durable case will protect the energizer against the elements, while the solar panel features compartmental damage-resistant construction, and low impedance technology that allows for less battery drain Built in the USA, it is tested with a full load at our manufacturing facility and comes with a 1-Year Limited Warranty including damage from lightning. To ensure your fence is operating properly, and your animals are contained safely, it is important to test your fence regularly. Using a Zareba Systems Electric Fence Tester you can measure fence line and fence charger voltage. To prolong the life of your charger consider disconnecting the charger from the power source when storms are near, installing a lightning diverter/arrestor to divert lightning to the earth, and using a lightning choke to dissipate power surges caused by lightning. desertcart.com Controlling livestock in a location without access to AC power is easy with the Zareba 5 Mile Solar Fence Charger.The Zareba 5 Mile Solar Fence Charger powers up to 5 miles of fence and can be used with the following fence types: steel/aluminum, poly wire/poly rope and poly tape.

Review: Direct replacement for one that died. (See below for fixing old one) - These aren’t cheap, but my old one lasted about 5 years. They are powered by a small battery and charged up by solar. I have maybe 500 feet or so of paddock electrified so horses won’t chew on cross rails. After buying the new one I found a YouTube vid explains how to take old one apart to get at the battery. Bought a battery fro something like $35. Took old one apart, charged and installed new battery, put back together and works fine. Not hard to do if your a little bit handy. Installed the new one & have a backup. By the way, this is outside 24/7 in northern Ohio mounted on the barn wall facing south. Not covered and very exposed to elements. Hard to believe that old battery lasted so long (5-6 years) in those extreme conditions. Here it can get below zero and tons of snow in winter & blazing hot in summer. Good product & easy to install.
Review: Works perfectly - My mare, Cassie, is a challenging creature. She is equal parts beauty and brains, and therefore, she likes to test the capabilities of the electric fence. There isn't a creature alive that could complete such thorough R&D on a fence, so it is of the utmost importance that my fence is functional. My previous fence charger took its last breath at the very worst time. My husband was out of town for work and I (a 125 pound woman) had to fix it on my own, and quickly. I am not skilled with this sort of thing. I can build a wooden fence well enough. But at the time of install, it was 100 degrees outside and I am a disabled duck who gets dizzy from the mere act of standing under the hot, summer sun. I ordered this bad boy and set about installing it. To my surprise, it was as easy as pie. Took me a grand total of 20 minutes to install it, check my ground wire, and check to ensure the voltage was indeed appropriate. I let it charge for a full day and it has been smooth sailing ever since. If this one ever stops working I'll probably buy two more simply for how easy it was for me to set it up.

I forgot to write a positive review about these great fence chargers. The first one I bought was faulty and stopped working shortly after I installed it. Zareba center replacement immediately and the charger has worked so well I bought more of them and have been delighted. This is definitely my go-to brand of chargers now.
