The separation of battery-backed and surge-only outlets allows you to prioritize which equipment requires uninterrupted power and which only needs protection from surges.

Performance and reliability

The built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation helps maintain stable power by correcting under- and over-voltages without switching to battery, which extends battery life and reduces wear. The hot-swappable battery design means you can replace the battery without shutting down connected devices, ensuring continuous protection. The unit’s 3-year warranty and ENERGY STAR certification reflect its durability and energy efficiency.

It supports a mix of devices that require battery backup and those that only need surge protection, making it a flexible solution for protecting your technology investments. Its compact tower design fits naturally in spaces where desk or floor space is limited.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
