My solar fence charger manual states that my fence charger was shipped with a fully charged battery but it also says that I should let it charge for 5 days in the sun before use. Why?
A. The batteries in all Parmak solar fence chargers are fully charged before they leave the factory; however, sometimes the units are stored at you local dealers warehouse. Depending on the length of storage, the battery may become discharged. This is why we recommend letting the solar panel recharge the battery in the sun for 5 sunny days prior to using the fence charger. Be sure that the fence charger is turned OFF while recharging the battery. You can open the battery lid and check the date stamp located on the top of the battery (shown in month/year). This will let you know when the battery was manufactured and when the battery was last charged. If the battery is older than six months, you should recharge the battery. Back to the FAQ List 19 b.
