grownut, you can get a fence tester for a couple of bucks and walk your fence line and check the voltage on each wire. If you have a lot of weed pressure, the lower wires may be losing voltage, or you may have a break somewhere. I mow beside my fence and then move the fence in the mowed lane to keep from dealing with weeds. That's one of the beauties of stepin posts vs permanent t-posts or wood posts. Your only alternative there is to weedeat (beaucoup labor) or spray roundup. You may want to check that your charger is still well grounded too! In the photo you can see the stepin posts with 2 runs of turbowire.
