If you go with a Parmak, Check out the model DF-SPL1.It's an excellent Solar Charger.Whatever brand you decide to buy, make sure that the retailer has an easy return policy.RAWCJW":3bsl7o5e said:Do solar chargers work well? I was looking at a Parmak brand.

Easy to set up and easy to change the battery if you need to. If I had to power a more permanent fence or a much longer run I would get a plug in type. The largest run I have is a half mile of 3 strand. Two of my neighbors have the Gallaghers and they seem to be satisfied also.
CB, Does those 5 F's have any thing to do with Foxes and Forest Fires??Caustic Burno":32py4dca said:milesvb":32py4dca said:I've got a Parmak but I don't like it very well.

Something is wrong cause I have several and they are hotter than 5 F's.

I don't know s### about electricity other than it needs a good ground and it'll bite ya. I have to go solar cause it's a pasture I'm leasing. I plan on running 2 strand hot guacho barb wire.

Anybody ever tried to open a Parmak Solar to change the battery? Mine seems to be non-user servicable. Or maybe the problem is with the user :roll: .
