Zareba solar electric fence charger energizes up to 5 miles of electric fencing in ideal conditions
Solar panel stores energy that lasts for up to 2 weeks without sunlight
Built-in mounting bracket fits T-posts, Y-posts and round-wood posts
360-degree rotation allows the fence charger to revolve on the T-post to face the changing direction of sunlight
Durable cabinet protects the circuitry from weather extremes
Controls animals and livestock, such as cattle, horses, pigs, and goats
Powered by an internal rechargeable battery (6V battery included)
Joule output: 0.15
Recommended with steel or aluminum wire, and it also works with poly wire, poly rope or poly tape
Please note: Energy mileage decreases when using poly products. 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.

Q&As

1 - 10 of 11 Questions

Q: Is this charger intermittent or continuous ?

3 months ago

1 Answer

A: This charger is intermittent (pulsed), not continuous. Zareba low-impedance fence chargers are designed to send out short pulses of electricity at regular intervals (about once per second) rather than a constant flow. This pulsed output is standard for electric fence energizers and is intended to be effective while reducing risk to animals and people. So for the Zareba 0.15 Joule 5-Mile Solar Charger, you can expect a pulsing shock cycle, not continuous current.

I bought this for my small goats, left it in the sun to charger for a week (charge time on package is 4 days), it didn't work! Charged the battery on a charger, only put out enough volts to keep a mouse out!! Do yourself a favor and buy a better brand!

Eh

So, I’m not able to fully review this product due to not having all the parts to fully review it. However, the product itself is very sturdy. It’s solid weight so it is a bit heavy. I feel as if it would have been an okay product.

This was easy to set up, pretty good range/output. Quite heavy for the size & works well in a weather. Definitely a good indicator & as you see before it was on a bird decided to visit. Birds no more!

Works enough but have concerns.

8 months ago

The instruction manual could have been a little better. I could easily see someone who has never done this before having some difficulty. I have some concern about the lifespan of this item, as multiple people I know have tried this charger or one similar from the same brand and haven’t gotten more than a year to a year and a half out of it before it all-of-sudden stopped working. But obviously it’ll be a while before I’ll know if that’s the case with this one. I also have some concern about its charging capabilities, as it took far longer to charge the first time despite sitting in direct sunlight the whole time during the days. The charge in the wire also doesn’t always feel as strong as it should, despite once again receiving more than enough sufficient sunlight.

We love this electric fence! It has worked so well for our horses and cows. I love that I can adjust where I want it to face (360 rotation). As long as the fence line isn't overgrown it works amazing!!
