Is it worth it to buy a “power conditioner” rather than just a Surge Protector?

surge protector
adam s asked:


I want to buy protection for some high end DJ equipment, and was wondering if it was worth it. A surge protector i need would cost around $25, as opposed to one with a power conditioner in it for ~$100.
Is it worth the extra $75?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the great answer! Ill just buy a regular power strip!

Raisen asked:


I am looking for some kind of rechargable battery that can be plugged into the iPhone to work as an extra battery because I use it extensively and usually have to charge three times a day.

I have an iPhone 3GS

tom l asked:


If i get a extra battery for my phone (total two, the one in the phone and the extra one) Will the battery drain down if i don’t use the other battery. When my battery in the phone runs down, then when i pop the other battery in, will it be fully charged or will it be drained also? Because i want to know if it is worth getting another extra battery for backup.

I have an iPod battery backup that will let me listen on a long flight, but it takes AA batteries and I want to bring extra batteries in case they run out. Will the screeners let me bring them on board?

DAMN those terrorists!

Nodor asked:


For Christmas yesterday I got a bigger battery for my laptop. What do I do with the one it came with, and how do I store it? Should I run it down to dead…should I fully charge it…how often should I switch between batteries…is it worth keeping an extra as a backup…?

My laptop is being used as a desktop replacement, so it spends most of its time on my desk plugged in.
