Electrocuting snails.

[Barmybaz]

I want to deter snails from my beans,
Last year I tried copper strips around box, limited success.
So I thought this year I could try putting a small charge through the strips, just enough to make the pesky blighters go away,
I have various Ni-MH batteries, from 2600 mAh through 1300 mAh to 600mAh,
I also have various solar panels, unknown spec, Perhaps I need new.
I guess there would be NO or VERY LITTLE discharge overnight, so it may be just a case of keeping the batteries topped up,
Would I need a dummy load say a LED, what if a short circuit accurred?
Could I just put a diode in circuit to avoid discharge in the day?

Baz,
Please try and keep related subjects together, otherwise it can get very confusing when split over several threads.

I will now close this thread.
