Battery Backup Guide

Taylor asked:


Me and my friend were just wondering how much battery power the light up apple on the back of a macbook uses. Obviously it isn’t a lot. We are just curious.

I have a marine aquarium and had a very lucky escape last night after a power cut.Fortunately I managed to save all the fish and corals but am now worried that a longer power cut will wipe out the lot.
As I’m no electrician and don’t understand the technical data given after having typed ‘Battery back-up’ into Google,I need some help please.
I’m looking for a simple plug-in system that will support the essentials,(heater,filter box & maybe one powerhead)for as long as possible I guess…something that re-charges itself once power is restored.I need the essentials to plug into it using standard UK plugs.
Is such a thing available or have I just come up with an idea for the ‘Dragon’s Den’ with no brains to make it happen????

I’m looking for a surge protector to protect my Macbook Pro, Krk Studio Monitors, Keyboard, and a few other things. I spent a lot of money on the equipment and don’t want anything to happen to it. What surge protector would you suggest for me to buy that would make sure nothing happened?

Paper Boy asked:


i had someone over and the person went over with a cup of water and dangled it over my surge protector and i am afraid of water dripping onto it. i did not here any crack, smell smoke and everything connected to it works fine but i wanted to know if a couple of drops of water would damage it or would it take a lot more? i have one of those monster surge protectors that filter power.
