Gallagher recommends all permanent Energizers be fitted with a lightning diverter to help protect from lightning damage.
The Lightning Diverter has two terminals for attaching wires and leads from each terminal that are set with a wide enough gap to prevent the normal energizer voltage flow from arcing across, but close enough to allow a lightning voltage spike to jump easily across and pass to ground.
