MINI250 Solar Electric Fence Charger with Day or Night Mode, 0.25Joule Portable Solar Fence Charger

These work really well - we bought several and they all work well.

It’s easy to set up and IT WORKS. Im only using it for a 20 x 30 area but I have a big naughty Friesian filly that loves pushing her temporary stall around and I was at my wits end. I read the reviews and with them being mixed, I wasn’t sure but still ended up going for it. It came with the wires needed and battery. I opened it up, connected it to the battery and left it out in the Arizona sun for 3 days to charge. Bought the polyrope, plastic clamps and 6ft copper rod at my local tractor supply. I had t posts at home. For a basic set up, that’s literally all you need. Hammered the rod about 3 1/2 ft into the ground (mind you this is Az, it’s dry ground not moist as they recommend) set everything up and turned it on. It took her about a dozen shocks at different areas of the fence but she eventually learned 😅 My poor corso was also a victim but now she doesn’t eat the horse poop! It’s been a week, it’s held up charge. I can tell because she’ll test it occasionally 😂 it’s bulky in size but not as bad as the ones at TCS. So far it seems durable but time will tell. I think it’s priced fairly; I’ll update if anything but so far so good. I included how I set it up, I didn’t mount the unit as this is a temporary area but that doesn’t affect its performance.

This is a great item. I charged it by plugging it in on the first day. I was having something coming around every night digging in my garden. I put it to use the first night and the digging stopped. I used it for another couple of days and turned it off and forgot to turn it back on. Well a week later still no digging, I guess whatever it was learned not to dig! I wanted to see what it would do to me so i touched the wire and got shocked. Its not bad for a person but not comfortable so I think its perfect for what is was designed for.

Hello, I started using this solar electric fence charger (HELIOS Mini 250) in the fall of 2024. It initially worked as expected, but this past fall it began to perform poorly, and now it has completely stopped working. This product is used to power an electric fence for containing large animals, and its failure is a serious issue. I expected a reasonable lifespan, but the product failed far too soon. I am requesting a full refund for this defective product. Please advise how to proceed.

Unit has a led indicator that the unit is active ...it is located on the back.of the unit between the + and - poles

Does as the description says and works great

As described

Easy to use and is keeping the critters out! Pleasantly surprised. Usually solar powered products are limited. Not this one. Highly recommend it
