Pros
- Plugs into any outlet and keeps a small pasture or garden fence live with no batteries to swap
- Low impedance design keeps working when some weeds touch the wire
- Warranty covers lightning damage, a common way fence chargers die
- Among the cheapest ways to power a livestock fence from a barn outlet
Cons
- Only a 1-year warranty, the shortest in Zareba’s plug-in line
- Half a joule is light for long multi-wire fences or stubborn cattle
- Needs a sheltered spot near an outlet; it is not an outdoor unit
