[QUOTE="presmudjo, post: 557367, member: 7149"] New to cows. We aquired a 3 week old bull to bottle feed. Well now about 18 months later we have a female for him and have put in very sturdy fences 5 strand Barbwire around property with areas we can cut off, etc. We put in electric near top with solar unit. Has worked great when not grounded out, like the cheap plastic insulators pull off the screws. Been fixing that with washers. Now I noticed A1 The Big Dog, yup the bull, touching the wire with no effects. Seems no current. I can't find anything grounding it out. One weed had grown up, I cut it out, but doesn't seem that would have shorted it out. Anyway, I don't know how long it has not been working, could be almost 2 weeks since I checked it. To many holidays and events keeping us busy. Do you think I fried the battery with too much charging and no discharge? If so, how would I check that? Or do you think I still have a short somewhere I am not seeing. I'm in Central Florida, so lots of sun, but also we've had some nasty lightning storms. Maybe it got fried? Any suggestions would be great. Hope I gave enough information for you all to help diagnose the problem. Thanks Jo [/QUOTE]
