What is a surge protector for?

Protect Your Computer From Surges

A computer battery backup, or surge protector, provides added insurance to the life and memory of your computer. It also protects your home from fires and electrical shortages. When a surge of power hit your outlet, such as during a thunderstorm, you run the risk of losing your computer's memory. Anything you were working on before the surge can be lost. With a computer battery backup, the surge will be stopped before it travels through the wire into the computer. Additionally, an Uninterruptible Power Supply will enable the user to continue to use their computers and components even while power has not been restored to their facility. The battery in the power supply will give the user enough time to finish their work and save it before their data is lost. Many computer battery backups are sold with a connected equipment warranty.
