We got a battery operated fence energizer. It runs off two D batteries and puts out a pulse about every 2 seconds. We got it to try to keeps some cats from digging and pooping in my wife's flower beds.
We also have a couple very small 6 pound dogs and my wife thinks the zap is too strong and wants me to reduce the zap so the fluffies don't get their nose zapped too hard.
Before I open up the unit and void the warranty, I was hoping to get some input from the folks here. I take it there is a step up transformer that charges a capacitor and a chip programmed to discharge it every couple seconds.
My question is: Can it be as simple as replacing the existing capacitor with a smaller one to reduce the force of the zap?
It does zap a lot harder than needed despite operating off of only 2 D cells. It has a 1 mile range and I only need it for 100 feet.
