Surge Protectors
Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially
reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your
notebook from power-source problems.
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into
your notebook can increase and cause data loss or system
damage. Protect your notebook and peripherals by connecting
them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your notebook.
Why Use AC Power When I’ve Got a Battery?
When you’re not on the go, you’ll want to use your notebook’s
AC adapter as your power source. This method ensures that the
battery is always charged.
When your notebook does not have a charged battery, you should
save your work and turn off your notebook before unplugging it
from the AC power supply.
