[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1645441, member: 21289"] If the ground is dry,you may have to add a second wire to your fence and make it grounded to a good steel post or rod driven as deep as you can get it. Try pouring five gallons of water around your other ground rods,too. A good fence tester should give a reading on the fence.Try it at the charger with the fence unhooked and hooked.See how much difference there is.If you have access to a fault finder,it may point you in the right direction if you have an unseen ground.Insulators sometimes develop cracks we can't see. I know ground moisture helps.I have a short electric setup across a wet area and the river beside it.With a fully charged 12Volt solar and a single ground driven into very wet soil,it was showing 9,800 volts on the other side.
