[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 819989, member: 8973"] Here is a copy and paste from the specs of a continuous charger. This charger can be used for electric fence containment of pigs, cattle, horses, deer, cows, sheep and goats. Our Fi-Shock™ Light Duty Charger, a high-power, low-cost electric powered fence charger, is durable and reliable. It has a continuous AC current output and a weather resistant cabinet to protect the ciruitry of the charger (however, there are exposed connectors that should not become wet since that can potentially short out the units). Light duty refers to the 10 acre range of this charger. It uses a 1 amp fuse, with a fused panel for downline protection against power surges. To top off these excellent features, this light duty electric fence charger has a one year limited warranty. Voltage: Input Voltage: 110-120 VAC, 60 Hz, .027 A, 10 W Output Voltage: 1.2 KV +/- 20% open circuit voltage As supported by this spec sheet you can see the output is 1200 volts and is limited to a 1 amp output. A continuous output of this low level should not afford a major shock risk. On the other hand neither does it afford an adequate output to contain cattle. It is a published and recognized fact that cattle containment needs a minimum of 3500 volts at the point of containment. IMO, a low voltage charger/energizer is just a training tool to condition cattle to breach a fence. [/QUOTE]
