Best Plug-In Electric Fence Energizers Ranked

The pick for big ranches with miles of high tensile fence: the most output per dollar among plug-in chargers, with lightning damage covered for three years.

A heavy duty plug-in charger for large pastures and predator fences, with unusually full voltage specs and lightning cover.

A rugged plug-in charger for medium pastures and predator control, with a fence voltage meter and lightning covered for three years.

For ranches with long or weedy perimeter fences that need real power from a barn outlet. The included lightning arrester and covered warranty suit exposed sites.

For large ranches running hundreds of acres of multi-wire fence, where Gallagher’s service network and modular design matter.

A strong plug-in charger for large pastures up to about 400 acres, from a maker that publishes real output energy.

A strong value plug-in charger for a medium to large cattle or horse pasture.

A mid size plug-in charger for pastures up to about 250 acres, with a handy voltage display and a three year warranty.

A dependable plug-in charger for a medium pasture of cattle, horses or goats, with lightning damage covered for two years.

A small, well built plug-in charger for paddocks and small pastures, best when the long warranty matters more than raw output.

A low cost plug-in charger for a small pasture, horse paddock or garden fence near the barn. Step up to a bigger unit for long or weedy fence lines.

A low cost plug-in unit for small paddocks and hobby farms where a few joules would be overkill.
