Fence Chargers

[rScotty]

I'm looking for recommendations on replacing our fence chargers. For many years we used Parmac brand fence chargers, but frankly they aren't the product they used to be.

Specs are: 110v., not out in the weather, multiple good grounds all the way down into the water table, no weeds to chop. Our chargers used to last 5 years, now we are lucky to get a day. The problem seems to be with the quality of the fence chargers, not the installation.

I'm thinking this time I'll go with a different brand - maybe even some foreign make & try to get something more reliable than the Parmac. So has anyone got any good recommendations?
thanks,
rScotty

They're pretty proud of those. I've been using a 12 volt Parmak to power my pig fencing for the last four years and have been thinking about getting another to put around my garden and poultry area.
I got sticker shock looking at what I want though... a 5 joule to try to keep raccoons and turkeys out.

Dare ..... DE 4 Enforcer series fence energizer - * 1 JOULE OUTPUT.
* Controls up to 1...
We have been using this one for over three years. Works great.
We had a Zareba which lasted quite a while but it gave up the ghost. But, it worked well also.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the best way to charge a fence that's 1000 feet from power? Would it be practical to run a line that far?

My Gallagher solar model lasted about 10 years before going out but did well all those years. I'm on year 4 with my Patriot brand and it does well so far.
