[QUOTE="dun, post: 666706, member: 34"] In most cases a minimum to keep the voltages up at the furthest extent of the fence, 3 rods are required. In some soils you may get by with 2. Space them 10 feet apart or as far from each other as possible and a lot of your fence problems will be gone. Some chargers the voltage available governs the amount of outgoing voltage. Others use even the slightest amount of voltage and intensify it the same as a higher voltage. We have an old battery Gallagher that will put out 5k volts with a new battery and still puts it out until the battery is totally dead. In a way it's irritating because testing the fence doesn;t let me know when I will have to change out the battery. It works on either D cells or an automotive battery, same 5k volts with either one.
