I use a 12V powered charger and the flexible wire to put around my muscadines to keep deer out. Previously when I energized the charger I could hear definite thumping in the box as it cycled the charge. This year I didn't hear the familiar sound, so I put my ear right up to the charger and can only her a faint click in the box. Also, I can put an iron bar in the ground and touch the fence and only get a weak yellow arc. This is a solid state charger with no points or moving parts in the box. I've said all that to ask: Is it normal for these chargers to weaken suddenly? Is there a way to rejuvenate them or do I just go buy another? Thanks for any help.
