Read bad reviews of the Zareba solar charger at tractor supply. Ant recomendations. Been looking at Parmak. Any good?

Instead get a solar charger to charge your battery for your regular charger.

My gallagher solar panel is 15 or so years old. Unless we get more then a full week with heavy clouds it charges the battery well enough to run a half mile of fence.tom4018":15r2xy4f said:jedstivers":15r2xy4f said:If your doing much fence you won't get a solar big enough.

Local lace has a Gallagher like that, are they any good?
I may have a need for a battery one for a few months.
Do you mean like a regular separate solar charger for a 12v deep cycle marine battery to run the fence charger? I have one I used to run my hog hunting night lights on my deer feeders dont use anymore. The area I am running fence to is 1/4 mile from the nearest AC plug in. Its going to be easier to go solar. This will be about a total of 1/4 to 1/2 mile of wire. Have not measured it yet Going this morning to mow and clear brush to lay frames and post.jedstivers":1wpk1dxb said:If your doing much fence you won't get a solar big enough.

That's what I'm talking about. On that short of a fence you might be ok with a solar fence charger but they have so few joules that is a problem sometimes. I like heat and sparks.BK9954":3gylfatc said:Do you mean like a regular separate solar charger for a 12v deep cycle marine battery to run the fence charger?
