Helen; When you talk to your neighbor next could you find out from them what kind of charger they are using. I've wanted to do this for years but have had problems with my fence not being hot enough and was told each time it's the charger. No one ever told me were to get a better charger and every one I've purchased was what they said "their best and hottest". I would appreciate all the information you could get me on what they are using. As it is I'm on guard with rifle. Thanks, Sandy
