My electric fence

I hooked it up to the charger today and it's reading 4500-5000 volts anywhere I put the volt meter on it, I think I hooked it right. She's hot!

How much fence do you have? I have about 5 mile of fence and I have 10,000 volts.

I've only got about 1.2 miles of two strands. My meter only goes up to 5000 volts and that's where it's registering. I guess your fence is just hotter.

TNcattle, 5000 volts will keep them in after they are used to it. That's about as much as I ever have. I had a cheap meter that read up to 5500 V and I hooked it to a new charger that had more voltage and it fried it the first time I tested it.
