What gauge wire is best to use with this fence charger?
1342323
We used 14 gauge fencing wire around our pigpen. It is over a year old and still going strong.

I think the gauge will depend more on the animal behind the fence. The charger is capable of charging most wire gauges. Most will be in the 12-16 gauge. I used the tape on my charger so it is not relevant but you have plenty of power with it. Hope that helps

I use a relatively low gauge but am out of town so can't say accurately. Mine is NOT the heavy "round" wire.

Mine is 28/28 gauge and charges very slowly with 2.4 amp charger, several recent reviewers have said the same. I wonder if older hardware revisions used thicker diameter power wires, as several older reviews extol the low guage/fast charge that they experienced. This is not the ones I recently rec'd

Use same gauge wire, 12-2 NM. This is what is required for a 20 amp breaker line.

I would use a 10/3 cord. For every 100 feet you should use 1 size bigger gauge.

I think 20 gauge (about .035). It works well for chicken fencing, but needs to be supported with a post about every 10 feet or so.

I am not sure what size the wire is, probably 16 or 18 gauge. I am using it with my battery tender to keep my motorcycle battery charged. The ring terminals are probably 1/4 inch. I have several trickle chargers and the wire sizes and connector ring sizes are all the same. This connector will work an virtually any motorcycle, power sport or lawnmower battery. You can probably get the sizing information from the Battery Tender web site. I hope this is helpful.

it is 18 gauge with a heavier plastic covering. it had worked well for me over the past 6 months, but will break. I would have gone with the heavier wire, but actually thought this was 14 gauge.

The charger is rated at a maximum panel size of 45W. This equates to 4 amps current at 11.25 volts. I wouldn't use anything less than 18AWG. Larger gauges go toward smaller numbers, so 16 is larger wire than 18.

I bought exterior speaker wire I'm not sure of the gauge but it is heavier than the wire that can with speakers

On my panels I use a #14 gauge wire on a 15 amp breaker. For the amp meter side I use Cat 5 wire with crimp connectors.

Any wire that is of the same gauge or bigger will work. All you have to do is cut it and then put in more wire, just make sure you have each wire matching since there is 4 different ones.

The wire is stranded. Solid copper wire would be very difficult to work with in this gauge and PE jacket. Both solid and stranded wire are suitable for dog fence installations. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

Proper wire size is determined by the load (Amps) and length of wire needed. Search for "12v wire sizing chart" to see a breakdown. I use 16 gauge wire which will carry up to 5 Amps 15 feet with about 3% voltage drop.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EADB2Q/ref=oh_details_o09_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

I'm not sure what gauge the wire is. I can tell you that it is the same size as the wire that comes with the chargers. The connections are also the same size as the connections for the charger. The extension comes with a connector cover to isolate the plug to prevent any potential for grounding/arcing. The extension was long enough to route the wire wherever I needed it making connecting and charging my truck battery easier. This is a very user friendly product - a realu "Plug & Play" item. I highly recommend this product.
