Solar Electric Fence Charger 5 Mile - Solar Powered Energizer for Livestock - Low Impedance Solar Fencer Battery Powered

After trying multiple deterrents (sprayed on substances organic and otherwise, flashing lights and sounds, sachets of various products) with varied but inconsistent results ultimately ending in deer eating my roses and leaving diseased plants in their wake, I stumbled on this awesome product on May 27, 2022. 1 jolt was all it took, and deer did not return for the rest of 2022. Although better looking that similar products, I still find this device unsightly. I cannot place it in an inconspicuous area in my garden as it needs the sun to charge. Placed in area with about 8-10hr of sunlight on a sunny day, I have not had to plug it in to recharge since initial charge prior to setup. The solar panels have kept it powered.Turned it off and took it down in Dec, 2022 but scout deer sighted Jan, 2023 so the system went back up. It still gives a good jolt when touched so I know it's still working. I spent more than this cost on all the other products I've tried prior to this. Now I'm curious to see if deer will require another jolt or just see/smell, remember and leave. So, deer family of at least 5 came by in Spring 2023. 2 got jolted and they all steered clear of my garden thereafter. A lone deer came by weeks later and navigated the perimeter of the fence to get to garden so I had to extend the primeter. I haven't seen any further attempts to get to my garden. I've gotten used to the sight of this device which is doing an excellent job keeping deer out my flower garden.

I bought this to electrify a fence for my horse, and so far it’s been amazing. It works for about two weeks with no sun, then I charge it with the cord that comes with it. So far it’s been durable, even with all the snow and it was easy to set up. I like that it fits on a T post and that’s what I have it mounted on. Only complaint I have is that the cable for the ground wire is pretty short so we had to bang the T post in pretty far so we could attach it to the ground rod.

I have this set up on the perimeter of a 10' x 10' garden. It works great to keep the deer out of my vegetables. I charge it in the spring to make sure it's fully ready and the solar charger keeps it going great all summer.

I purchased this product and used it only a few times through out the spring and summer and it worked well. This fall I went to use it again and it seemed to have a charge in the unit but wouldn't charge the fence. I contacted the company that made it Pet and Livestock HQ and they responded quickly. I tried a number of things they asked me to try and after little success they replaced the unit. The new one came quickly and after charging it as they had suggested I attached it to the fence and it worked great. This company was concerned about making sure that I had a working unit and was satisfied with it. I would recommend this company for their products.

It works, but the power output is very very small. It gives about the same amount of shock as my tens unit on the lowest setting. My 2 year old grandson thinks its funny to hold onto it. Pretty weak.

I have a flower bed that I have to protect from deer and rabbits since I live in a rural area. The energizer is working well since I have seen evidence that a deer got the message to leave my flowers alone. The first unit I received was not performing as it should. The seller was quick to help me determine that a replacement unit was needed. I received a phone call from the tech support person in regards to the problem and they are located in Australia. I live in the middle of USA and that impressed me. The seller was quick to address my issues and was pleasant to work with. That heavy Australian accent was charming.

It was a great find for our little homestead consisting of a few goats and chickens. It brings a peace of mind knowing that our livestock is safer. Just needed to purchase an electric fence polywire; you can get any livestock electric fence of whatever size you need, it's not expensive. I love that there is a back-up battery that generates power for two weeks. Before the installation make sure you read the instructions, some of the steps are important to follow so it would be safe for people to use. I also recommend to install a warning sign next to the livestock enclosure/gate to warn of the existence of an electrified fence. Other than that I think it's worth the price and would be a great investment.

We have a new dog and she’s a digger, pair that with the coyotes and javalinas, and we had a problem despite already having a chain link fence around the dog yard. I was intimidated at first about the whole electric fence thing, but this system couldn’t be simpler. I connected it to “Farmily portable electric fence polywire” using “insulators for electric fence wire” and was done. The dog took exactly one time to learn and doesn’t dig under the fence anymore. Nice and portable too for when we go out of town.

Simple to use, but a real pity the flashing green on light and The on off switch are both located at the back of the unit instead of the front where they can be checked / used with out turning the unit around …

Have used this for over a month in south west BC. In the wettest and darkest month, it has remained charged and working flawlessly. Charged for 12 hours at home then took it out hooked it up and is charging a larger area then I ever thought it could. Highly recommended.

It’s a terrific unit. Only disappointing thing is it can’t be mounted on a star picket. It’s got configuration to be mounted on something, but not a star picket.

Was handy as its solar, small and easy to install. Unfortunately its doesn't last long.

I noticed it works if not too sunny. As soon as the device gets hot it stops working… I put a cloth over or I move to the shade and it works. I don’t know if mine has a problem..
