The Surge Protector with Battery Backup not only offers the same level of protection against surges and spikes as a surge board, but it will also protect your precious memories and valuable data from being corrupted or lost during a power outage. If a power outage occurred and your computer was not protected by battery backup the following could happen:

• Any changes that you have made to documents or files such as images, videos, email , word or excel files would be lost.
• Any files being saved to the hard drive at the time could become corrupted and unusable.
• Systems files (including temporary files) could become corrupted causing the operating system to become unstable, to the point where the computer wont function correctly.
• Physical damage to the hard drive can occur. In some cases the files cannot be retrieved.
