FenceMate Electric Fence Charger 0.15J AC Powered — 2 Mile Range, Weatherproof Pulse Indicator

FenceMate AC Powered Electric Fence Charger delivers a compact, reliable 0.15 joule pulse energizer designed to protect and contain small animals across fences up to about 2 miles under optimal conditions.

This AC-powered energizer provides a weatherproof, sealed housing with lightning protection and a visual pulse indicator so you can trust the fence is active. It’s built for conductive wire, rope, braid, tape and net fencing used for rabbit, poultry, and other small-animal containment or to deter small wildlife. The unit is engineered for typical residential and small-farm setups and includes a ground terminal for proper earthing—essential for good system performance.

How far will this FenceMate charger power my fence?

Distance depends on the fence construction, vegetation contact, number of wires, grounding quality and the type of wire or tape you use. Under average conditions with multiple steel or aluminum wires and minimal vegetation, expect about 0.5 miles (roughly 2 acres). With a single clean steel or aluminum wire and no vegetation, the unit can reach up to approximately 2 miles (about 8 acres).

• Average: ~0.5 miles / 2 acres (multi-wire, low vegetation)
• Maximum: up to 2 miles / 8 acres (single clean metal wire)
• Vegetation, poly products or poor grounding reduce effective range

What fencing materials and animals is this energizer suited for?

The charger is compatible with conductive fencing including steel, aluminum, braided rope, tape and net systems. It’s intended for containment of small animals such as rabbits and poultry and for discouraging small rodents and wildlife like squirrels. It is not meant for large livestock containment or professional high-power installations.

• Works with metal wire, aluminum, steel, braid, rope, tape and net
• Ideal for rabbit pens, poultry runs, small pets and rodent exclusion
• Not recommended as primary energizer for large livestock or heavy vegetation lines

How should I install and ground the FenceMate unit for best performance?

Mount the sealed unit indoors or under shelter when possible, though it is rainproof and rated for -25℃ to 65℃ operation. Connect the red terminal to the fence line and the black terminal to a dedicated ground rod (earth spike); a good earth connection is critical for effective pulses. Observe safety guidance by mounting warning signs where people may access the fence.

• Place unit indoors or under a cover for longest life, or mount outdoors as sealed unit
• Connect red to fence, black to a ground rod—solid grounding is essential
• Install warning signs near accessible fence sections for safety compliance

What electrical and safety features does the charger include?

The FenceMate charger operates from 110/120 V AC, 60 Hz mains and incorporates a lightning protection element and a pulse indicator LED so you can see it is firing. Peak open-circuit voltage is about 4.5 kV, with roughly 3 kV under a 500 Ω load; these levels are appropriate for small-animal containment when correctly installed. The unit carries a one-year limited warranty and US local after-sale support.

• AC powered (110/120 V, 60 Hz) with sealed rainproof housing
• Peak voltage ~4.5 kV open-circuit, ~3 kV at 500 Ω load, LED pulse indicator
• Built-in lightning protection, 1-year limited warranty, US service

Who is this for? The FenceMate AC Powered Electric Fence Charger is aimed at backyard poultry keepers, small-farm owners, hobbyists and homeowners who need a compact, dependable energizer for small-animal containment or deterring small wildlife. Choose this unit if you use conductive wire fencing, can provide a solid ground rod, and want a low-maintenance AC-powered solution that’s weather-resistant and easy to monitor with a visual pulse light.
