Battery care and maintenance
• House the battery in a suitably designed battery box, if the battery is likely to be exposed
to the weather.
• When not in use, keep the battery as fully charged as possible.
• Recharge a discharged battery as soon as possible.
• Batteries should be stored fully charged and recharged at regular intervals (every 8 weeks).
• Inspect the battery regularly to ensure that the electrolyte level does not fall below 12 mm
(½") above the surface of the battery plates.
• Fill using distilled water. Do not overfill. Refer to the battery manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for more information.
Battery safety
• Ensure that the battery is well ventilated when recharging.
• Avoid temperatures greater than 50 °C (120 °F).
• Ensure the battery is not exposed to naked flame or sparks.

Building an Electric Fence

Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following elements:
• An energiser.
• An earth system. This comprises a number of metal rods inserted into the ground,
which are connected to the earth terminal on the energiser.
• Insulated underground cables. Used to connect the energiser to the earth and fence.
• An insulated fence. Connected to the Fence terminal of the energiser. Fences can
be made to a variety of designs (see below).
