Can I use a car battery with my energiser?
Yes you can but this is not recommended as car batteries and leisure batteries are quite different. A car battery will give out a lot of power in the first few days but then lose power gradually over the subsequent weeks and the fence will be less effective until the battery is finally flat. They will need to be charged more often and charging a battery while it still has some charge in it will lower the life expectancy of the battery itself. A leisure battery has a ‘deep discharge’ whereby it gives out a constant output for weeks on end and will lose it’s last amount of power over a few days until it has completely discharged. These batteries often have warning lights on them to alert you of their current charge level.
