Catalog > Electric Fence Chargers > Battery-Powered Zareba Yellow Jacket About our battery-powered chargers: The chargers listed here use three different kinds of batteries. The Zareba Yellow Jacket can use 4 flashlight batteries (D cells), a 6-volt storage battery, or a 12-volt storage battery. The Dare Sentry 300 takes either a 6-volt or 12-volt battery. The Parmak DF-LI-U.O. uses a 6-volt battery. And the Fi-Shock XB-12, the Parmak EM-200, and the Parmak Magnum 12 U.O. all take a 12-volt battery. All are low-impedance chargers, and all are at least marginally suited to repelling deer. Their power ranges from weak (the Zareba Yellow Jacket) to strong (the Fi-Shock XB-12 and Parmak Magnum 12 U.O.). In general, deep-cycle-type 6-volt and 12-volt batteries work better with electric fence chargers than do car-type batteries, because car batteries are designed to be continually recharged, while deep-cycle batteries can be more fully discharged without damage. For small (14 amp-hour) gel-type batteries well-suited to electric fence chargers see products 01-17 and 01-32. Larger batteries, like golf cart batteries, that typically cycle deeper than car batteries, can be obtained from various internet stores such as www.ebatteriestogo.com. Zareba Yellow Jacket - Low Impedance, Uses D-cell, 6-volt, or 12-volt batttery Our most versatile battery-powered charger, the Yellow Jacket can run on 4 D-cell (flashlight) batteries and also on a 6-volt or a 12-volt battery. Fully portable and easy to use, the weather-resistant Yellow Jacket can be attached directly to your fence system’s ground rod and also has a built-in wire strap for attaching to your electric fence wire. The Yellow Jacket puts out a maximum of 0.28 joules and can cope with a light (400 ohm) weed burden. Low-key enough for small animal applications, the unit packs enough of a punch to discourage deer. It also has a three-position switch that allows it to be turned to “off”, “battery-saver” output, or “maximum” output. A flashing light on the unit indicates when it is operating. Batteries not included.
Dare Sentry, Model DS 300 - Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger, UL Listed The Dare Sentry DS 300 model is a high-performance electric fence charger that puts out 0.75 joules and uses advanced technology to provide peak output under difficult conditions. The unit can use either a 6-volt or a 12-volt battery as its power source. The DS 300 has an all-weather case and built-in lightning protection. It comes with instructions and a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects and lightning damage. Batteries not included.
Parker-McCrory DF-LI-U.O - Low impedance, UL-listed, Uses 6-volt battery The popular low impedance DF-LI-U.O is fully weatherproof and portable. The UL listed DF-LI-U.O (1.4 stored joules) cannot deal with any major weed burden, but it can power baited summer deer fences where the weed load is light to moderate. The charger comes with instructions and a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. A light flashes when the system is working properly. 6-volt battery not included.
Parker-McCrory EM-200 - Low impedance, UL listed, Uses 12-volt battery This is the battery-powered equivalent of Parmak’s AC-powered HS-100 (product 1-4). With 1.6 stored joules, the EM-200 is only a little more powerful than the DF-LI described above. However, this UL listed charger handles weeds better than the DF-LI, and is therefore suited to powering baited summer deer fences where some significant weed burden is expected. The EM-200 features advanced solid-state circuitry and comes with a one-year warranty. A pair of lights show when the charger and fence system are working properly. Must be installed in a clean, dry location protected from the weather. Instructions and mounting screws included. 12-volt battery not included.
Parmak Magnum 12 U.O. - Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger, UL Listed Parmak's most powerful battery-operated electric fence charger (comparable to the solar-powered Solar Pak 12), the Magnum 12 U.O. is both weatherproof and portable. The compact unit works off a 12-volt storage battery (not included). A bit too powerful for small horse enclosures, this charger is well-suited to powering long fences enclosing pastures where AC current is not available and light to moderate weed burdens are expected. The Magnum 12 U.O. comes with instructions and a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects and lightning damage. A performance meter on the face of the charger indicates whether the charger and fence are operating properly.
Gel Batteries for Electric Fence Chargers The two gel batteries below have been designed with solar-powered chargers in mind, but they will work perfectly well with battery-powered chargers. They have the advantage of operating well in cold weather. However, the power they provide is limited (roughly 14 amp hours when fully charged), so unless one is replacing the lost charge with a solar panel they should be used mostly with battery-powered chargers that have relatively low joule ratings, and even then one should be prepared to recharge them fairly often. More powerful batteries (golf cart or boat type batteries with greater capacity—in the range of 60 to 80 amp hours) can be obtained from other sources such as www.ebatteriestogo.com.
