If its for sheep 3 strands youd want abit of clout. Definitely go solar my one been brilliant. Your not faffing about with flat batteries
waste of money.Just having a quick scout on the farm marketplace and found this. https://www.marketplace.farm/farm-a...g/combination-energiser-gemini-40-sale-price/ anyone know if they are any good?
https://www.electric-fence.co.uk/voss-farming-helos-4-12-v-battery-mains-energiser-dual-power.htmlJust wondering what the cheapest energizer is for 250 meters of 3 reel fence. Im getting confused by all the options online
Would be glad if someone could help
i disagree, it hasn't got high enough power should be 2 or 3 joules at least.In my opinion best all round 12v energiser is a Hotline falcon, good power output, reliable and British made. Ideal for three reel sheep fencing
I repair electric fence energiser's and have seen every make and model available, When the falcon's do develop a fault, repairs easy and cheap.
At 1.7 its not far off the 2 joule mark, we've had no problem keeping sheep behind 500m of 3 strand powered by a falcon unit.i disagree, it hasn't got high enough power should be 2 or 3 joules at least.

there is a difference between stored and output joules.At 1.7 its not far off the 2 joule mark, we've had no problem keeping sheep behind 500m of 3 strand powered by a falcon unit.
With the higher joule units they draw far more current from the battery and to make full use of their output power you need sufficient earthing, ideally 1 meter stake per joule, on temporary fencing how many people bother to knock in 3 or 4 earth stakes
12v onlythere is a difference between stored and output joules.
good battery power and earthing is a given.
The point is to be able to stop sheep in the real world.
will that hotline run off the mains as well as 12 v btw.?
