Sorry, but I use portable solar chargers, and the ground rod is in the 
soil for only a few months at a time, so we've not seen any major 
failures so far.  We do have one mains-powered fence charger, whiixh is 
grounded via  a copper lightening-rod ground system . (All of our barn 
structures have elaborate circa 1910 lightening rod systems, with 
massive grounds in each corner of the structure--it reminds me of Mark 
Twain's Essay on Politcal Economy, which I will post here if anyone asks.
