Description

With the Zareba 5 Mile Solar Low Impedance Fence Charger your fence 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. 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. 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. Made in the USA, the solar panel features compartmental damage-resistant construction.Low impedance technology allows for less battery drain and intuitive technology resists shorts when the fence is in contact with weeds.Animal Controlled:At A Glance:Patented 360° rotation allows charger to rotate on T-Post to face the sunPowers up to 5 miles of fence using a sun charged batteryInput Voltage: 6 VDCOutput Voltage: 8.6 KV +/- 20% open circuit voltageCan be used with steel, aluminum, poly wire, poly rope, and poly tape.Low-impedance technology allows for less battery drainResists shorts when the fence is in contact with weedsIncludes a 1-year limited warranty including damage caused by lightningMade in the USAFence Charger Expert Tips:The fence charger is the heart of your electric fence system.

  • 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. ... show more

  • Does the job
Ok, you put a lot of effort into a garden and then they arrive in the middle of the night… deer. The plants were doing great and in a very short time a pepper plant that was 24” tall and very bushy is mowed down to about 8”. Had enough of these quite often delicious but destructive creatures to your garden. I had it and purchased this solar fence power unit. So far after almost a month in service my plants have bounced back, although not going to produce as much but I’m very happy. Have pics of deer at night standing outside the fence looking in, keeping their distance. Also had one try to break in and bust one of my lower wires, but must have gotten shocked and retreated. Repairing the fence is a snap.. the solar power unit works great and I’m getting about 7.5kv all around the fence. I should have installed an electric fence years ago. ... show more

  • Recomend
Owned 2 ghallegers in 7 years. Went to get another but they were $100 more so I went with this. Works as well as the G. Plus the on off sw is better so far and the green led light that shows its on is much brighter in the direct sunlight

  • Easy to install
Works well in keeping deer out of a blueberry patch when I use deer repellant on cloth strips tied to the e-fence.

  • Goat safety
Using to protect our goats after a dog attack. We lost one and still may have another go away. I have used this brand as I borrowed one and wanted my own. Works great.

  • This machine is not made for long distance
I have installed 3 miles of Polytape on 40 acres land. I put 3 ground rod and follow all instructions. All our T post has insulator and nothing touch another part etc..... When we plug the machine we had only 2000 volt. We change the wire cable as it was ridiculously thin for bigger. Nothing changed. We add water on our ground rod... Nothing change. This machine doesn't work and we lost our money. I think this machine is too small for large land and 5 miles is not true. Buy this machine for chicken electric fence of 100 feet .... No More. ... show more

  • Works great!
This replaced a fence charger of the same make and model that we used for 4 years. It worked well on our 3-4 miles of fence, even with light weeds on it. It charges well through the winter. We feel we got our money's worth out of the first one. We have goats, a mini donkey, and a mini horse.
