Solar Shed Light 3.0
Conveniently provides light where plug-in power is inaccessible.
Aids in checking your birds/animals at night. Produces enough light for a chicken coop or small shed.
Attach the panel to face due south for optimal sun exposure (for recharging). Lights will run about 7 to 14 hours depending on solar charge time.
Light output is similar to a 20 watt incandescent bulb.

How to check if it's the energizer or the fence...
Turn off the energizer. Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground rod system.

Turn the energizer on.
Measure the voltage on the energizer between the 2 terminals (fence and
3 earth) with a digital fence voltmeter or other fence testing device (see below).
Touch one end to “–” earth terminal and the other end to “+” fence terminal.
If the tester reads under 4000V, the energizer (or possibly the battery if it’s a battery/solar energizer) is the problem.

If the tester reads more than 4000 volts, the energizer is working properly. conductors against metal or inadequate grounding.
Buy an electric fence tester and use it!
This isn’t said to sell fence testers. It’s said to help users better understand the performance of their fence. Not monitoring or even knowing the voltage of your fence means escaped animals or predation.
You want at least 3000V— that’s enough to keep predators out and livestock in. If lower than 3000V check...
FENCE
Measure the voltage at the furthest point from the energizer
ENERGIZER
Unhook the fence, measure voltage between the terminals. You want 5000V
BATTERY
A battery is too low in power if a meter reads less than 12.2V
Fence & Battery Digital Tester
This meter checks the voltage of energizers, fences and batteries.

Checks the following:
Fence
Energizer
12V Battery
Traditional fence voltmeters only determine fence voltage (in thousands). They can’t read battery’s lower voltages.
Multimeters may be used to test batteries, but are destroyed when testing the high voltages of electric fence.
Eye-friendly digital screen is easily read. Unlike some testers, there’s no guessing where voltage “might” be.
• Battery reading is in tenths (i.e. 12.6V). • Multiply fence or energizer reading by
1000 (reading of 5.5 is 5500V).
To use, insert ground probe into soil and
touch opposite tip to fence. For batteries, touch to terminals.

• A fully charged 12V battery should read no lower than 12.6V.
• Do not draw 12V batteries below a 40% charge (12.2V). Doing so damages the battery’s ability to be fully recharged
or hold a charge well.
