quickie-fence energiser light showing red THEN pulsing green?

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

argh, help me before my head blows up!

Battery on fatty Bruces fence needed charging......put on charge overnight (could probably do with longer but couldnt spare it any longer as he will just walk through the fence without it).

took plugs out correctly prior to charging.

now, when connected back up to fence the light on the energiser shows solid red for 30sec-1 min, before changing to pulsing green.

ive checked and double checked battery (shows as fully charged), fence, earthing stake and energiser.

have checked fluid level in battery and looks ok (same as the other battery which is working 100% fine).

its definately working as he walked in to it and got a zap!

is this likely to be:

1.fence problem
2.battery problem, either not fully charged or needs more distilled water
3.energiser problem
4.none of the above and just ignore it!


am going to try the energiser with a diff (virtually brand new) battery later to try and double check but if anyone has anything else to double/triple check or try later that would be great.

mine does that when the battery needs charging, however my battery doesn't charge overnight it takes it a couple of days, its a leisure battery - don't know if that makes a difference, wonder if it needs charging for longer - but there is enough charge to actually run the fencing for a while.
What does the condition indicator on your battery show - took a couple of days of charging on mine to go back green.

thanks, will check the indicator light on the battery, im such a dolt!

if its low will try a 48hour charge and put the old crap battery on CS fence as he's a bit less of a thug, and Bruce can have the other new battery.

this is a lesiure battery too, should have said that.

i actually thought you had been pretty thorough in your trying to sort it out! hope its something easily remedied
it took my indicator ages to go back green when I flattened it.

thanks

typical that this happens when pappy sparkle is on hol, my electrical expertise is very limited lol, i can bang a few rails back in to place and mend a minor leak etc but battery issues are a bit beyond me!

im going home at 12 so will put the other good battery on the fence and get this one on charge for a lot longer, hopefully CS will stay off his bit of fence for long enough! honestly, i wish they were all as polite as little fig, he wouldnt even think about barging through it bless him.
