This review is from: Parmak Magnum 12 Solar Pak Low Impedance 12 Volt Battery Operated 30 Mile Range Electric Fence Charger MAG12SP (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased this Parmak Magnum 12volt solar fence charger for a pasture for a horse my wife bought at an auction. Closest access to electricity was over 500 feet away through the woods so solar made it simple. We used a 9 wire poly rope. The pasture is about 2 and a half acres. We installed the fence charger per the included directions. We used three 8 foot grounding rods as suggested. This thing will knock your socks off and that was before we found a location where the poly rope/wire was shorting on a steel post because it did not get inserted into the plastic insulator clip. Now it is late summer and the grass has grown up and is touching the fence in some locations. The meter on the fence charger still show beyond the green (good). Our horse has never attempted to test the fence as far as I know. The neighbor now put a two year old palamino in our pasture for a companion for our horse. The two year old has never tested the fence as far as I know and he respects the fence. Never had either horse get out of the pasture. I think these 12 volt units perform better thatn the 6 volt units. This unit has exceeded my expectations as far as a solar fence charger goes.

This fencer works GREAT!

I'm using this to fence in a 40 acre pasture. Much more efficient than my old unit. The main thing to remember when changing from the old "high impedence fencers" to the new "low impedence" fencers is that you need a much better ground system.

The old fencers that really threw a spark could get by with one ground rod. The new low impedence fencers recommend three ground rods hooked in a series. Anyone that tries to get by with one will either damage their fencer or be disappointed in the performance.

My experience totally opposite that of the other reviewer. Works great, maintains charge even if moderate grass/weeds present. I'm using it with electrobraid.
You can find it much cheaper elsewhere.
