battery

I am planning a 6 day camping trip, but my camera battery will only last about 1 day. I could buy 6 batteries but that would cost hundreds!

I do have a battery charger (plugs into a wall outlet)… does anyone know of a small generator or maybe a battery that gives power to an AC outlet that I could take along? It wouldn’t take much power to charge my battery, I just need a way to do it from the top of a mountain.
No cars.. this is the top of a mountain!

my surge protector would not let my pc start. i had to plug it in directly to the wall outlet?

VALENTINO asked:


my pc works fine being plugged in directly to the wall outlet. however i have other components working off the surge protector. which seem to be all-right.
i find this confusing is my surge protector shot or partially shot??? do need to buy a new surge protector??
please advise

What should I do if I spilled water all over electrical cords, a surge protector, and a wall outlet?

Actually, my clumsy husband spilled his water all over our desk and it proceeded to spill back behind the desk and straight onto a wall outlet, and surge protector, and all over the surrounding cords. We have already disconnected his laptop from its power source as a preventative measure…what, if anything, should we do next? Can this create a bigger problem?

Should you unplug the surge protector from the wall outlet during a storm?

Sambo! asked:


If you push the button on a surge protector to turn it off, is it the same as unplugging it from the wall outlet?

Computer flicking then goes off along with everything else on battery back up/surge protector?

battery backup

I replaced battery backup yesterday and everything is fine until 2 pm today, and it started doing the same thing. Could the wall outlet be faulty??
