Questions

How much does a fence charger cost?

What is the cheapest fence charger?

The American Farm Works 0.07 Joule AC Charger at $34.99 at Tractor Supply.

Which brands make fence chargers?

On this site: American Farm Works, Gallagher, Patriot and Power Wizard. Patriot has the most here, with 19 models.

Where can I buy a fence charger?

The 38 fence chargers here are listed at Tractor Supply and Valley Farm Supply.

Plug-in, battery or solar: which fence charger should I buy?

Plug-in (110V) chargers give the steadiest power where an outlet is close. Battery chargers suit fences away from power. Solar chargers keep a battery topped up for remote pasture and shorter fences.

What do the mile ratings mean?

The distance of single, clean wire the charger can power under ideal conditions. Real fences with weeds, several strands or poor grounding need a charger rated well past their length.

What is a joule rating?

The energy in each pulse. More joules push through weeds and long runs better. The American Farm Works 15 joule and Power Wizard 9 joule are the strongest on this site.

How many ground rods do I need?

Follow the charger maker’s instructions. Most chargers need at least three ground rods spaced apart, and bigger chargers need more. Poor grounding is the most common cause of a weak fence.

What is a dual power charger?

A charger that runs on 110V AC or a 12V battery, such as the Patriot P5, P10, P20 and P30, so one charger can move between a barn and a remote pasture.

What charger do I need for cattle?

Cattle are fairly easy to hold with a well grounded fence. Size the charger to the fence length with room to spare, and use more joules if weeds touch the wire.

Do solar chargers work in winter?

Yes, but short days and cloudy weather charge the battery less. Pick a solar unit with room to spare or keep a spare battery.

Why is my electric fence weak?

Usually poor grounding, weeds or grass touching the wire, a broken or rusted connection, or a charger too small for the fence.

How much does it cost per mile?

On this site, plug-in chargers run from about $17 per rated mile on the smallest units to under $2 per mile on the largest. Each product page shows its cost per rated mile.
