Our range of electric fence batteries are designed to provide optimum performance for their associated products. Each battery is matched to one or
more of our electric fencing and/or handlamp products and should give reliable battery life to capacity ratios.
Please Note: We are frequently asked by users of our 12v energisers why it is necessary to use a deep cycle or leisure battery, rather than a car battery. Simply put, this is because a car battery is not designed to be deeply discharged. A car battery may well be sufficient to keep your fence running for a day or two while
you charge your leisure battery, but we cannot recommend the use of car batteries with electric fencing for anything more than this.
Also, shorting-out on the electric fence line through vegetation touching the fence will not effect the life of the battery, only the voltage through the line.
All batteries, regardless of type, have a longer service life if they are not fully discharged every time they are used. Therefore, we recommend that you try to change / recharge your electric fence batteries before they run out completely. For example, if your battery will work with your energiser for 10-days, we would suggest changing it over or recharging it after 7.
