This review is from: Fi-Shock SS-505CS AC Powered Light Duty Electric Fence Charger, 10 Acre Range (Lawn & Patio)

We have large and small animals and needed something that would work for both. This isn't it. It's continuous shock will prevent animals that bite it from being able to let go and will cook them from the inside. It's killed two of our animals. We weren't 100% sure after we found the first one dead, but the second one was obvious.

The company's website claims that none of their chargers will harm *any* animal so we called them up and let them know they kill. As it turns out, they already knew that their continuous chargers kill small animals so they sent us an intermittent one for free. (Doesn't really make up for the $400 worth of animals their product has killed and the fact that one was a pet.) They haven't changed their website even though it's a lie. I noticed that they also sell chargers specifically for birds that are continuous and run at the same power output as the chargers for larger animals. One has to wonder why they sell a product that they know will kill the very animals it's supposed to be protecting. Avoid this company.

Bought this to train raccoons and other critters away from a bird feeder they'd been emptying and damaging. Didn't take long! Probably over-powered for the job, but I wanted to make sure it would work through paint (it does). Nicely robust: something managed to dislodge one of my leads, which sat shorting through wet ground for a day or so with no apparent damage to the unit. May try it next to protect bluebird houses, which suffer a lot of mammal predation.

I'm replacing a 12 year old Saco I charger with the fi-shock 505. I overlooked the fact that this charger DOES NOT have an indicator light, which means checking it everyday with a probe. How much would a light add to the cost of this thing, a nickel?
