Battery Backup Guide

Big AL asked:


I was reading about how you shouldn’t plug the xbox 360 onto a surge protector because it can damage your 360. Supposedly, the power brick has a surge protector in it?

GoGolfGo asked:


What kind of surge protector do you use for your home theater equipments? Where’s a good place to buy one? Thank you.

Amplified Distortion asked:


I have my computer which has a power supply that ranges between 300-400 watts, my LCD Monitor, and my playstation 3 all plugged into the same surge protector. The box said it could handle up to 150,000 joules or something like that. Is my surge protector able to handle this much power on it. Or is it overloaded.

Oz1981 asked:


And is it necessary to earth the surge protector. Because my installation does not have “earth/ground”. Thank you.

My husband and I just bought a new LCD television, with a “special” surge protector to cut down on “bad electricity” which is supposed to prolong the life of our tv. Any ways, the “special” surge protector has three prongs and our wall outlet only has two prongs. I have another surge protector that will work in a two prong outlet; so I plugged that one in and plugged my “special” surge protector into it. I only plan on plugging in about 5 things so I know I will not over load the outlet, but am I going to hurt my tv? Also does this defeat the purpose of the “special” surge protector?
