The SurgePlus combines a surge protector with battery backup for high-performance computers and electronics.

Aimed at users looking for an entry-level, inexpensive surge protection solution, the SurgePlus offers affordable, advanced surge protection for home computers, phone lines and electronics against lightning, surges and spikes, as well as battery backup for brownouts and blackouts.

It has four surge protected, localised outlets, with two outlets also providing battery backup.

The unit's battery backup feature can keep a computer and monitor up and running when the power goes out, giving the user enough time to shut down gracefully, without risking the loss of valuable data and productivity.

Units are available with BS1363 for the UK, Schucko CEE7 for Continental Europe and French/Belgian style outlets.

The SurgePlus also offers telephone, fax and modem/DSL line protection, safeguarding equipment from "back door" surges on the telephone line.

Additional features include a "protection working" indicator, plug activated shutters and a 1.8m cord.

"Lightning and power surges can permanently ruin electronic equipment", says Michael Adams, UK and Ireland Country Manager, APC.

"Changes in voltage cause lockups and loss of work".

"This unit will not only protect hardware from the threat of bad power, but its battery backup offering assists in the shielding of information".

The SurgeArrest surge protector plus battery backup is available for GBP 49.99 or Eur 69.99.

These products also come with a GBP 50,000 or Eur 75,000 equipment protection policy, a two-year product warranty and a data recovery warranty.
