Ah, selecting the perfect energiser for your electric fence – now there's a task that can tie you in knots if you're not armed with a spot of guidance! Fear not, as tricky as choosing might seem, it's rather vital to nail it down to ensure your fence does exactly what you expect it to do.
Mains Power
- Best for permanent setups
- Reliable and low maintenance
Opting for mains power to run your electric fence is a top-notch idea if you’ve got a plug socket within about 100 meters from where your fence stands. It's a reliable option and saves you a bother with batteries. Great for permanent set-ups, but not so great if you want to move your fence around.
The energiser should be kept indoors or under shelter next to your mains power socket, and you'll need to run an insulated lead-out cable from the energiser to your fence.
Battery Power
- Quick & easy setup
- Best for temporary fencing
- Best for strip grazing
Battery power gives you the flexibility to move your fence around as needed, making it ideal for strip grazing or other applications where you find yourself moving the fence regularly. The quick and easy setup also makes battery power perfect for temporary fences.
We would recommend using a rechargeable battery, as they are more cost effective in the long run.
Dual Power
These energisers combine the benefits of a mains & battery energiser for the ultimate do-it-all energiser. A good long-term investment if you plan to use your energiser for different things in the future.
Solar Power
The advantages of a battery powered energiser, but without the hassle of recharging. The solar panel can reduce or eliminate the need to recharge your energizer, depending on weather conditions.
