Product Feature: Double Up Your Energizer’s Battery Power and Longevity
Did you know that you can upgrade the current lead acid battery in both your energizer and power pack to Nemtek’s new 7Ah lithium batteries?
By changing to lithium, you increase the lifespan of your energizer battery and decrease its replacement rate as lithium provides many years of serviceability. Simply switch out the batteries when you’re ready to replace them, connect them up and let them do the rest.
Not only will the power pack keep your energizer running for longer during outages, but the rapid charging feature more than doubles the rate of charge once the power is restored. This means that as your energizer charges, not only will your power pack recharge its battery quickly, but it will also help your energizer to recharge its battery faster and ready for that next power cut.
Having a power pack connected will also increase the battery’s lifespan on your energizer, as the energizer battery now shares the load with an additional power pack battery.

Our Modulus Brackets System: A Durable, Modular to Fit Your Needs that can Provide Added Security
The patented Modulus brackets are designed with flexibility in mind. By using the different components, a full range of sizes and different applications can be formulated and offer a slimline aesthetically pleasing finish. It gives you flexibility on the spacing of the insulators, number of insulators and height of the fence.
The key components are the 2- and 3-way brackets. The 2-way is primarily used as an intermediate bracket. A typical spacing (pitch) between wires is 100mm, but by using the Modulus spacers, different spaces (pitches) can be achieved. The 3-way is used as an end-tensioning post and corner post to change the wire direction, or as an inline strain post on long, straight walls. The 3-way bracket is heavier and stronger, and can be used as a tensioning bracket, as a corner post, or as an inline strain post
The 2- and 3-way Modulus brackets are available in the following sizes:
- 460mm – 5 lines
- 960mm – 10 lines
- 1160mm – 12 lines
- 1960mm – 20 lines
- 2360mm – 24 lines
- 2660mm – 27 lines
Features:
- Modular design so that it can be assembled on-site to fit the needs of the installation.
- Using fibreglass and plastics in its construction, it is durable and can be installed in the harshest environments.
- Light to transport and easy to handle.
- Increased security as more lines can be assembled on the bracket when rewired.
- Insulators can be installed on both sides of the bracket to increase security.

Enhance Your 2023 Plans With Electric Fence Training From Nemtek Training Academy
2023 is well underway, and there is still ample opportunity to explore skills and trades to further benefit your existing skillset. Nemtek Training Academy is one such entity that can assist you in upskilling yourself and that teaches valuable knowledge and insights pertaining to electric fence installation.
Why You Should Consider Nemtek Training Academy
A working electric fence has inherent value. It can keep someone’s property safe from intruders and can also be used to safeguard animals and keep livestock from wandering outside of the perimeter. With such value comes a simple fact: electric fences need to be installed and maintained by a qualified technician. If you think this skill set may become redundant in the future, think again as it is highly unlikely; especially considering that there will always be a demand for new electric fences to be installed, maintained and even upgraded. Many individuals prefer not to carry or even attempt such technical tasks by themselves, hence they rely on the expertise of someone who is accredited and specialises in electric fence installation.
Even if you just want to upskill yourself, our modules will be beneficial in helping you understand how electric fences work, what their various components are, how they operate together, and how to install electric fences safely and according to local regulations. If you are an electrician or other technician who works with electrical equipment, our courses will help you obtain a more marketable skillset in addition to the ones you may already possess.
How The Nemtek Training Academy Courses Work
Our courses take the form of structured modules, each covering a different aspect of electric fencing. For example, Module 1 offers an overview of the installation process and introduces applicants to security energizers, and each module thereafter compliments the previously completed one, while Module 5 as the final module in our course encompasses the Certificate of Compliance and the preparation process leading up to it.
Not only will attendees get acquainted with the technical intricacies of electric fence installation but will also learn about networking system solutions and even animal management and control.
Classes are presented in seminars and can be done either online through virtual presentations or in person at one of our nationwide dedicated training spaces. Not all modules can be conducted online (and vice versa), so make sure your chosen module is also available in your chosen format. It is also important to note that all modules have prerequisites that need to be met before you can apply.
How To Sign Up
All you need to do to sign up for a module is to head to our Training Calendar page and use the filters provided to find a module that suits both your training and location requirements. Once you find a module you are interested in, you can either add it to your cart and pay for it immediately, or you can apply for it, the latter of which will require a pre-assessment questionnaire to be completed to determine whether or not the module is right for you.

How does Equine Fencing Keep Your Horses Safe
Keeping horses is a joy in itself. They are powerful and majestic animals, not to mention intelligent and playful. They are also expensive to maintain, so keeping them safe is a priority. Equine Fencing can work wonders in keeping your horses safe, both from themselves and from unwanted visitors. In this article below we explain how electric fences work and why they are a perfectly safe choice for protecting your horses and other animals.
The Psychology Behind Electrified Equine Fencing
Psychology is not just for humans. It is a science that is applicable to animals as well, especially intelligent animals like horses. That means that certain behavioural principles that apply to humans can also be used to predict and manage the behaviour of animals. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on the phenomenon of operant conditioning.
Operant conditioning is a process by which behaviours are learned from interacting with the environment. In other words, the tendency to perform a specific action is either strengthened or weakened based on the consequences of that action. It is easy to see how that principle applies to the use of an electric fence. In this case, the specific type of operant conditioning is “punishment”, which simply means that an animal that touches the electric fence will learn that it creates a negative feeling or sensation, so it will avoid touching the fence in the future. It is important to note that the “punishment” we refer to does not entail any abuse to your horses for poor behaviour, but simply discouraging a specific behaviour (touching a fence or venturing into a specific area) by implementing mild negative consequences.
Equine Fencing Is Designed To Be Safe
Your horses won’t be harmed should they come into contact with a properly installed electrified fence. The fence’s current is normally only strong enough to deliver a sharp jolt and cause a brief period of discomfort, which is intended to prevent repeated attempts of touching or going near the fence. Because the possibility will always exist that your horse, other animals, or even humans may touch the fence (either unknowingly or on purpose), the fence cannot by nature be deadly. It may take more than one attempt of touching the fence to discourage such an action, so you don’t want to cause serious injury during either attempt. You want your fence to be a safety barrier, not an expensive liability.
