Using an electric fence charger for your farm fence or paddock is a safe way to create a barrier for your animals. When touching the fence, the energiser sends a safe but uncomfortable shock to stop animals from pushing through. This power can be sourced from mains, battery or solar and you need an electric fence energiser that reflects that choice. A little consideration when making the decision for your fencer can save you time and money in the long run.

What to keep in mind when buying an electric fence energiser?

Energisers have many different specs which make them hard to compare. Besides that there is no standard for electric fence energisers to communicate its specs and features. For example the maximum fence length. Some manufacturers base the maximum fence length of the fence energiser on the most ideal circumstances which never happen in real life. Others communicate the maximum fence length of the fence energiser according to the most common circumstances. The latter is keeping the consumer in mind when doing this.

So when you are in the market for an electric fence energiser, please consider the following most important aspects:

- Animal type

- Fence length

- Power source

Subsequently there are some other aspects to keep in mind as well: vegetation touching the fence, resistance of the conductor and certain features.

What types of electric fence energisers are in the market

Electric fence energisers can generally be divided in four categories: mains powered, solar powered, battery powered and multi-powered. So you need to consider the power source when choosing an energiser.

Mains powered fence energiser

Mains powered electric fence chargers are reliable, cost effective to run and are generally more powerful than battery powered models. These models have 230 volts as their power source. As a 230 Volt plug is required, the location of the fence is often close to a shed or home.

Battery powered fence energiser

When you have a mobile fence, either battery powered or solar powered electric fence chargers are advised. Battery energisers are powered with a 6, 9, or 12 volt battery. As only 12 volt batteries are rechargeable, we see a trend towards 12 volt energisers.

Solar powered fence energiser

Next to the 12 volt energisers more and more solar electric fence chargers are being sold. The solar powered energiser range combines the benefits of the battery energisers with the power of the sun. These devices have a battery which is powered through a solar panel. The solar panel makes sure you do not have to change the battery every three months.

Due to the improvements on the solar energisers throughout the last decade, the reliability of a solar energiser is as good as a battery energiser. The benefit of a solar energiser is that the battery does not need recharging or replacement.

The improvement of the solar energisers is led by Gallagher who puts a lot of resources into research and development of their solar range.

Multi power energiser

Multi power energisers combine the possibilities of a mains energiser with the possibilities of battery energisers. Multi powered devices give you the flexibility of using it for mobile fencing or hang it on the wall and plug it in a socket. When choosing this device, always check the content of the box. Depending on the model, the cables for connecting the electric fence energiser are included in the box. If you are not sure on the way you would like to use the energiser these devices are the best option for you. Browse our range of multi power energisers.
