[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1645204, member: 8993"] If so or for anyone else that has had a charger hit by lightning. No matter how your wire comes from the charger go to the top of a post. Coated wire works best but if slick it's ok. With coated wire go down the side of the post and stop an inch or so above a steel rod you have already driven into the ground a couple feet. Make a sharp 360 degree turn back up the side of the post to the wire. As the lightning hits the fence wire and heads toward the charger it will bounce off and hit the steel post instead of making the sharp turn on to the charger. Just make the sharp turn far enough away from the steel post that it doesn't spark with normal use. [/QUOTE]
