Portable fence chargers

[Cashela]

Ok I need to replace my Zareba Yellow Jacket fence charger for horse camping. This is the second one that I’ve managed to kill.

I do not have a never ending cash supply so I am limited by cost.

Was looking at the following: http://www.jefferslivestock.com/pe5b-fence-charger/camid/liv/cp/TRU-A9/

Anyone have any experience with this charger?

Was also eyeballing this one:

Any thoughts? Opinions? Etc?

Need to get one on order soon.

I always use this one.

I use one from KV Vet - its a small green one, uses 2 D batteries. Very small and doesn’t take up a lot of room in the trailer. I think it’s around $80

I have a red snapper, can use 6 or 12 volt battery with it. Used it a whole summer out in the bush, no problems. I did make sure it was grounded on a rod though.

I don’t have an unlimited supply of cash either. Manure … that’s a different story …

here’s the unit we’ve used for the last three years. A bit bigger but always ready. I leave it in the shop facing a window. Not full sun, but enough to keep the charge on the battery. When in use, will operate indefinitely like … weeks at a time. (if faced into the full sun)

When in use, I either lay it on the ground sidways or mount it on a post or lay it on a plastic bucket. I connect it to the fence and ground rod with ordinary wire with alligator clips… keeping the wires separated by air gaps.

I really like how easy it is to use and it definitely delivers a shock :eek:
