Product Description

With the Zareba 5 Mile Solar Low Impedance Fence Charger your fence can have power from anywhere. This fence charger runs up to 2 weeks without sunlight and is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. With 0.15 output joules, this energizer will support animals and livestock such as cattle, horses, pigs, and goats. This charger energizes up to 5 miles of fencing, although if using poly products, you should expect about half of the power. The more material along the fence line, the harder the energizer must work to pass voltage through the line. To prepare the 5 Mile Solar Charger for first use, place the unit in full sun for 3 days in the off position. After this charging period, the unit is ready to use and install. Set the charger's integrated mounting bracket onto a T-post, Y-post, or round-wood post. On T-posts specifically the charger can rotate 360 degrees to face the suns changing directions. The durable case will protect the energizer against the elements. Built in the USA, it is tested with a full load at our manufacturing facility and comes with a 1-Year Limited Warranty including damage from lightning.

Testing Your Fence

To ensure your fence is operating properly, and your animals are contained safely, it is important to test your fence regularly. Using a Zareba Systems Electric Fence Tester you can measure fence line and fence charger voltage.

Lightning And Power Surge Protection

Lightning is often the cause of fence charger failure. To prolong the life of your charger consider the following:

  • Disconnect the charger from the power source when storms are near
  • Install a lightning diverter/arrestor to divert lightning to the earth
  • Use a lightning choke to dissipate power surges caused by lightning
