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. 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.

    • Ground Fields
Style: Solar 5M Charger
This charger works great if you set it up correctly. I’m using 4 ft ground rods spaced 10 feet apart. The instructions say to go down 6 ft with the ground rods. I have rocky terrain so this was next to impossible. I ended up with four ground rods 2 ft deep each. I was skeptical if I would have a good ground system or not. As it turns out I have an output of 6.5K on my fence line. Which I am told is excellent. ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Keeps My Horses In, Aliens Out, & My Mother-In-Law Guessing!
Style: Solar 5M Charger
Okay, so I bought this Solar Fence Charger to keep my two equine miscreants, Blaze and Jasmine, from conducting their daily escape and garden-raid missions. And boy, has it been working wonders! Let me set the scene for you - imagine two horses, so crafty and cunning they'd put Houdini to shame. Every day, I would find them gallivanting around my beloved azalea bushes, tossing those flowery victims left and right. But thanks to this marvel of modern technology, my dynamic duo now stays firmly behind the line of scrimmage. So, let's all take a moment of silence for the tragic, almost-daily demise of my azaleas... that has now been averted. But wait! This fence charger has proven it's worth more than just its primary function! One night, under a full moon (because such incidents always occur under a full moon), I was convinced we were being visited by extraterrestrial life. There was this peculiar glow from my backyard, and I, being an avid X-files fan, was convinced this was it - First Contact. Turns out, it was just the solar-powered charger, fully juiced up and glowing like a kid who found the hidden stash of Halloween candy. That might disappoint some, but not me. I now sleep easy, knowing not only are Blaze and Jasmine kept in check, but any would-be extraterrestrial invaders will think twice before trying to tamper with my alien-deterring, glow-in-the-dark beacon. Oh, and let's not forget my mother-in-law. She came for a visit once and without knowing what this device was, touched the fence. Safe to say, she's been on her best behavior ever since and she now religiously brings oven mitts for each visit. So, all in all, this Solar Electric Fence Charger has not only been great for Blaze and Jasmine but also my garden, my peace of mind, and my relationship with my mother-in-law. Five glowing, solar-powered stars! ... show more

    • So far so good.
Style: Solar 5M Charger
set this up for my horses using the 1 1/2 inch tape style fencing. Tired of them laying on fences that I then have to go re-stretch and fix all the time. I'm Kind of particular about how my fences look. Installed easily, (NOTE), unit has to charge for 3 days before you turn it on, so set it outside early. It's already been through one HECK OF A STORM!! Golf ball sized hale for about 20 minutes, dumping rain and 80mph winds for well over an hour, plus a day of pretty steady rain and drizzle a day before that. Was terrified that my new expensive charger was gonna have a busted out solar panel from the hale, NOT A SCRATCH to be found! Volt meter is pulsing between 985 and 1200 VOLTS, not sure why it isn't the same on every pulse, but 985 should be plenty to dissuade my horses from laying on it and 1200 is more than enough. Happy with my product. SIDE NOTE. red and green screw down caps seem a little flimsy and i was scared to tighten them down on the wire too tight for fear of stripping them so I just kind of snugged them. and why in the world anyone would label their electrical output in "joules" is beyond me for anything outside a universal scientific reason. No one has time to convert energy from joules to watts to volts, zebera should just put it in volts and be done with it. This is why it got 4 stars from me, I'm a science major and still had to go refresh myself on joules and how to convert them. The screw down caps and joules measurement is why I gave it 4 stars. ... show more

Great replacement for my original electric fence charger that died. Has been powering the fence for a couple of months now without issue. The old one lasted about one year. Hope that this one lasts longer.

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

    • Direct replacement for one that died. (See below for fixing old one)
Style: Solar 5M Charger
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
