Gallagher S10 Solar Electric Fence Charger | Powers Up to 3 Mile / 15 Acres of Fence | Low Impedance, 0.1 Stored Joule Energizer | Unique Battery Saving Technology | Portable and Super Tough *DISCONTINUED*

The second one I have purchased. Excellent value for money

Simple set up and it delivers a good shock and charges on minimum sunlight.

The solar fencer is exactly what we needed

Super durable super useful equestrian fence energiser.

Description on product states will energiser 15 acres or 3 miles. Packaging states (see photo) only 1.3 acres. I will try it but need it to do more that just over an acre. Description is misleading if it only energises just over an acre

First of all this works great but you need to understand a few things. The most important thing you should know out of the gate is that this unit DOES NOT stay on all the time. Because it's solar, it sends out pulses or bursts of high voltage ⚡. This works fine if you are working with larger animals... either keeping them in or keeping them out of an area. However this does NOT work as well with keeping out small animals that move quick, because you're rolling the dice on whether they will be touching the wire at the time of a pulse.The second thing to know is that the pulse frequency slows down at night. The company's position is that animals are less active at night so the pulses can be less frequent to conserve battery.Having said that, we are using ours to keep animals out of the garden and so far its done great. I wish there was a setting to allow the unit to keep the higher frequency at night in areas that have plenty of sun. Our primary need is at night to keep animals out of our garden and its worked... even with the pulsing. Our primary pest is deer, raccoons, and groundhogs. Those animals all move slow enough that they really can't make it past the wire without getting a proper shock.We did have an animal get in once, but once we adjusted our wire height that didn't happen again.Some helpful hints...1. Face the unit with the solar panel towards south. Seems obvious but that's where you get the longest window of sun.2. Run your wire at several heights (especially at the bottom) to keep out smaller pests. This helps keep animals from jumping over the wire or squeezing between without getting a shock. The more you can slow down the animal... the higher the probability that you can time it with a shock.Great unit!

Great product. The battery came charged so all I had to do was connect it to my fence and my ground and turned it on. Can't ask for more.

I was really nervous purchasing this product reading the reviews. It seemed this product was hit or miss. Well it was a hit for me. I live in the NC mountains along a river where we worry about bears and other critters getting into our new bee hives. First let me say please do your research on how to install these fences properly. Things such as wires not properly run and insulated on posts or not grounded will instantly make this product worthless (user error) I bought the heavy cord which connects from this device to the fence and the other to a ground wire from tractor supply( does not come with this product there are no wire leads to fence and ground). T posts with yellow insulators to run the fencing wire. 3 6 foot iron rods for grounding posts. Tied all together with steady sunlight from 9am to 8pm. This product puts enough pop to make u draw your hand back and startle you. I would not say it will really cause bodily harm but it will make whatever is checking it out not come back. This is also a unit that sends pulses it is not a constant shock. I do. It keep this unit covered it is constantly exposed to the elements and it has stood up to multiple storms and is running strong. If you receive this product from the supplier I used on here then this should do the job of you’re trying to build a medium sized pen or keep your animals (horse,cow,pig,goats) in the field. It will work!!

It is a quality product and feels like such. But I hath not been able to admit shocks without touching both lines. Maybe you cannot connect the line directly to Gallagher. The pictures in manual show a thicker wire from line & grounding rod.

It works GREAT! In Oregon I was concerned with the amount of direct sun it would get, but, at initial start-up the power has been flowing and consistent regardless of the rain and clouds. And it did what I needed it to do,,,train a Husky Pup not to push thru the fencing! It hurts, sad but true. She will never touch that again! Thanks!
