Supported fence length
The Gallagher B60 is suitable for fences up-to 6 km. This length is adviced for fences with no vegetation touching the conductors. If little vegetation is touching the fence Gallagher recommends to use the energiser for fences up-to 2 km.
The reason for a shorter fence length when more vegetation is touching the conductors is that this causes leakage. This leakage means that the shock of the energiser will become less when something touches the fence. The more vegetation is touching the fence the more leakage occurs.
Animals for which the B60 is suitable
The Gallagher B60 is most suitable for horses, cattle, pig, sheep and goats. These animal types are recommended by Gallagher. The shock the energisers provides will certainly keep these animals behind the fence.

Gallagher quality
To ensure you will get a quality product when buying the B60 battery energiser, Gallagher has a unique testing procedure.
Firstly Gallagher has some extreem tests during the development of its energisers. During the development all energisers are being dropped from 1 meter. Every side of the energiser will fall on a hard concrete surface. The requirement is that the charger is still working and protected by its case.
Another test during the development of the charger is a temperature stress test. The battery energiser should still be working in -80 °C and +180 °C.
When the model has survived these tests, it is ready for production.
To ensure the model you receive keeps up to its promises, it is tested for 24 hours before being shipped. If any failure occurs during these 24 hours, the product will be disapproved. Therefor you will always receive a fully functional device.
