Fi-Shock SS-440 – Low Impedance Solar Electric Fence Charger, UL Listed, 0.14 joules Theoretically the Fi-Shock SS-440 puts out up to 0.14 joules, but when it is set up in the field this output commonly drops to about 0.05 joules. This means that the shock administered by the SS-440 is typically more of a small zap than a jolt, which significantly reduces its ability to repel deer. Voltage data: The SS-440 can maintain up to 8000 volts across its terminals. However, even a very small imperfection, such as a minimal 500-ohm weed burden, will reduce this voltage to about 1500 volts, still plenty to shock small animals but not enough to reliably shock deer, even with a baited electric fence. Other animals: If one can keep weeds off the fence, the SS-440 is useful for keeping dogs out of vegetable gardens; it is also useful (if the fence is combined with a short barrier fence) at protecting gardens from cats and a medley of small wild animals including woodchucks, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and others. It can also be used to keep horses confined to small paddocks or corrals from chewing or leaning on barrier fences, so long as the electric fence is short and its electrical connections are strong. General data: The weatherproof and portable SS-440 features an impact-resistant solar panel. It also comes with a 4-volt gel-type battery, instructions, and a manufacturer’s limited two-year warranty. As indicated below, replacement batteries and a 4-volt battery recharger can be purchased separately. |
