With the American Farm Works 0.2-Joule 18-Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer, your fence line can receive power from anywhere. This fence charger runs up to 2 weeks without sunlight and is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. With 0.20 output joules, it supports a variety of animals and livestock, such as cattle, horses, pigs and goats, and energizes up to 18 miles of fencing. This electric fence charger includes a built-in battery monitor, which allows you to keep track of your battery's health. With a quick glance, you'll be able to determine if your battery is going bad or your charger just needs a better angle. A durable case helps protect the energizer against the elements. To prepare this solar-powered electric fence 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 patented mounting bracket onto a T-post or wood post. Built in the USA, this electric fence charger is tested with a full load at our manufacturing facility and comes with a 3-year limited warranty, including damage from lightning. Get yours today to maintain a safe, controlled perimeter.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Will it work with only 1 ground rod?

a month ago
2 Answers
  • Woodstream Team
    A: For the American Farm Works® 0.2 J 18 Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer, we recommend using 3 grounding rods for proper grounding and optimal performance. One ground rod may allow the unit to operate, but it may not provide the grounding needed for the best fence performance.

Q: Does this need an endlead cable

a month ago
2 Answers
  • Woodstream Team
    A: Yes, an insulated lead-out (end lead) cable is recommended to connect the energizer to the fence and ground system, especially if the connections need to pass underground or through areas where standard fence wire should not be used. For the American Farm Works 0.2 J 18 Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer, use a properly rated insulated fence lead-out cable for the fence terminal and the ground terminal as needed. This helps ensure the energizer delivers the best performance while preventing unwanted voltage loss.

Q: Will this unit be effective keeping raccoons out?

3 months ago
1 Answer
  • Woodstream Team
    A: The American Farm Works® 0.2 J 18 Mile Solar-Powered Electric Fence Energizer can be effective for deterring raccoons when used as part of a properly installed electric fence system. For best results, use multiple fence wires positioned low to the ground, as raccoons typically approach by climbing or crawling. Be sure the fence is properly grounded and maintaining adequate voltage. Many customers use electric fencing successfully to help protect gardens, poultry areas, and other locations from raccoon activity. The energizer is rated for up to 18 miles of fence under ideal conditions and delivers 0.2 joules of output energy. Always follow the installation instructions to ensure optimal performance.

Total Rubbish

a year ago
If you buy this product make sure you get some kind of warranty- actually, just don't buy it. Don't be like me with 3 of these non-working units sitting in my barn keeping company with the 120 mile AFW AC charger that also doesn't work- and no-one willing to fix them. Lot of waste of money though. My fault, I know the old saying about banging your head against the wall and expecting a different result, but what company would put out trash that would fail every time? One star for consistency. From now on I'll stick with the higher priced products that actually work.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Internally well constructed enclosure lacking

2 years ago
I bought this on clearance which was a return unit without a battery. The price was within my level of risk. Also purchased a six volt battery on clearance (not the one for this unit but correct voltage). The unit didn't work thus disassembled the unit and found a lot of corrosion on one of the boards due to water getting to it due to leaking of the stick on cover on the front. After cleaning the circuit board and installing a jumper the unit works. The circuit boards (two of them) are well made but the enclosure is mediocre and definitely what one would expect from something in this price range. I'd recommend to anyone buying this unit to cover the top above the solar cell to protect it from the sun and environment. Most likely in the northern states this isn't required but in the Texas area where the sunshine is brutal during the summer is a requirement. Thus if one protects the upper part of the unit from the elements it will probably last longer than the three year warranty. I'll install the electronics in a durable enclosure and be able to use the unit for several more years. Shame on the designers for not considering the hash environments to which the fench charger may exposed.

Useless without the connectors

2 years ago
This energizer is useless because it did not come with any connectors to connect it to the electric fence. It also didn’t come with a grounding rod. Tractor Supply does not sell the connectors or the grounding rod. We have another energizer that came with everything we needed to use it

Did not work

I purchased this solar powered fencer and charged it for 4 1/2 days before turning on. When the battery test button was pushed indicator lights would just flicker. No output to the fence which was single strand steel wire approximately 130 feet long. I went to Kencove fencing and bought a Parmak that works great, and the price was over $30 less.

Weak

I purchased this larger unit after my new smaller five mile charger failed to impress my fence wrecking gelding in his 60’x 60’ pen. Bought aluminum tape that is supposed to be super conductive also. After testing it I put my gelding back in. He promptly put his nose on it and jumped. A little. The next morning I woke to the sound of my horse clopping down my driveway. the tape was stretched and on the ground along with several broken fence rails. After spending over $450 on these chargers! No more solar for me!

No Bull

I got this solar electric fence unit to keep bulls away from my heifer pen. So far so good. It’s simple to install and has remained very constant. Yes it was tested by the big bovines and they understood that reaching over the fence was no. They were shocked that they were not allowed to go over into the neighboring pasture. Great product.
