      A solid red battery indicator means the battery capacity is low, likely due to insufficient sunlight. Ensure the energizer is getting enough sun. You can also turn the energizer off for 3 days and leave it in the sun to charge the battery, or connect a Recharge Kit (G40110) to charge the battery.

      The energizer may have been damaged by lightning. To check, disconnect the energizer from the fence and earth. Measure across the fence and earth terminals with a Gallagher Fence Volt Meter. If the reading is less than 5 kV, return the energizer for service. If it's more than 5 kV, the fault is with the fence.

      The output voltage might be too low because of a high load on the fence line. First, check that the battery is OK using the battery check function. If the battery is fine, inspect the fence and earth system for any faults.
