I have always dealt with mains electric fences and it's just a switch I deal with, but now I'm moving yards somewhere (hopefully!) that has all this electric energiser things and I'm feeling very out of my depth. I don't have a huge budget but an old livery left me her fence energiser years and years ago and I've peeped in it and it appears to have two 6v batteries in. It has a stake and a earth wire (I think, I'm guessing I have no clue) and a black crocodile clip and red crocodile clip (bit rusty but I think I can easily replace these- seen them at work) and this plain metal odd shape clip too.
I'll pop a photo up tomorrow.
But basically, my questions are: what does each thing do, what things do I need to buy to get it going, where do I buy the right batteries, how long will a charge last, how do I recharge the batteries, how much can I expect to fork out to get it up and running, and how do I set it up?
Diagrams will help, I'm a complete rookie and I have not a SLIGHTEST what I'm doing, fortunately new livery has offered to help me set it up but I would like to have a rough idea myself.
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks! x
**EDIT: had a quick browse online and by chance I've found the one I think I have, it looks like this, just a lot more aged, it's got a yellow case with "CP250" on the front? But this is the general idea:
