This works well and as expected. It does need a plug in source.

Awesome that I can run this on AC when I want and on DC from solar on the weekends when I have time to monitor the charge and recharge my batteries. But when I don't have the time or inclement weather it's just plug and forget. Used with a synthetic electric fence (not wire( fence to keep deer out of veggie garden.

This was our first fence charger as we decided to change out our solid fencing for electric so that we could rotate our goats through the wooded areas on our farm. Getting it setup was fairly easy. The instructions are well written, so even people like us who have never done it before were able to get it setup. From our friends that already have electric fencing, they recommended that we attach the charger to a car battery so that in case the solar charger stops working, the fence will still stay charged. The thing that I really liked about this charger was that it came with all of the wiring already to attach it to a battery, which isn't a feature that we saw on all of the chargers we looked at. So far, it's been doing a great job at keeping our fence charged and our goats inside their pen. Just remember, don't touch the fence when it's on. ;)

Wow, this fence charger does have some very interesting features, i.e. an audible alarm to show when there is a short circuit. I am not sure how practical this feature would be. It also can run off of a 12 V car battery. That is a feature that should prove useful to quite a few people, it does appear to be powerful enough when I put my tester on it and the hook up is relatively easy.There are some things I do not like as well though. The charger is very lightweight and has kind of a cheap feel to it. I would not have even mentioned this in a review, but for the fact that the ground terminal was very loose inside. This does have me a bit concerned That the connection may break at some point. I will see how things work out over longer period of time with his charger as well. Anything that is outstanding, be good or bad. I will update my review. Not completely sure I would recommend this at the price point it is set at.

This review is for the 2 Joule Electric Fence Charger with Siren Alarm,12000V High-Power Output Electric Fence Energizer with LED Display, AC DC Multi-Powered Fence Charger Ideal for Livestock, Poultry & Gardens.So up for review today we have this dandy little electric fence charger. I'm very experienced with fence chargers as I've lived out in the country most of my life and had livestock...cows, goats, sheep, hogs, chickens, horses... They're a must have with them to keep them safely contained AND to help keep predators out, along with some good dogs and things that go bang bang LOL. I now live in the city, and I'll be using this to fence in a planned gardening area as we have a lot of deer up here.So here's a news flash for those whom aren't familiar with them. I've always set my chargers up, whether plug in or solar charger, to always run my chargers off car batteries. That way if our electric went out or the solar charger battery went out, they would still work. It's nice this one comes with the proper plug ins/clamps/wires to do it the easy way LOL. I don't have to set up multiple batteries, wirings, jumper cables, trickle chargers.... to do it! LOL.So this is a nice compact unit, I'll be building a nice weatherproof box to house it in. I must say this is a step above having an audible alarm on this so if something goes wrong with the system/circuit it will alert me. That's one thing I've never had before LOL.So I plugged this in and it powered on, and using a tester it does have a good out put. So I don't anticipate any issues when I get it setup.Regular price $109.99 ,per the listing is maybe too high a pricepoint but there is a $40.00 off coupon making it better. But browse listings. There is a wide price range for these things, and some basic rules. If you're running it for cattle generally one that runs on a 220 line is needed. I've never run a 220 charger. The smaller output 120 plug ins or solar chargers I've always found more than adequate.When I got my first solar charger I paid over $200.00 for it, they've come way down in price as things of technology do with time. I've honestly not found a plug in charger better than the big solar one I had, and vice versa. I will say the solar one was nice as I really didn't have to worry if the electric went out. As I explained earlier I always kept an extra batteries charged and hooked up with both types for backup. I live in a northern state, and even in the winter there's enough sun light to keep the solar one working. Part of the reason the solar ones are so big/bulky/heavy is because of the internal battery. So there's trade offs with the electric ones being smaller/lighter weight, but if the electric goes out no power unless you have charged batteries ready.As always I only do honest reviews and update if needed. I hope this helps you make the best choices how to spend your $.
