Ireland's Finest! Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've just set up an electric fence around my pheasant pen. I want to hide the battery for the fence under vegetation(in case someone takes it) the out-put lead going from the battery to the fence is not long enough so I got a cable which I tied it onto the electric fence and then attached the red out-put lead to the other end of the cable, will this work? I'm afraid it will drain the battery. The red out-put lead and cable are lying on grass does this matter? I would really appericate a reply asap.

All my fencers and batteries are inside the pens and under an old feed bin or dustbin or such like. Sadly if someone wants them, hiding the unit and battery aint gonna help you one iota.

CharlieT Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Although you won't stop the determined thief, I chain my fencers and batteries to a ground spike driven deep into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
