Permit me the opportunity to ask you a question.
Why would you spend hundreds and at times thousands of dollars on expensive electronic equipment but not spend less than $100 on a simple device to protect your investments from power surges and fluctuations?
Are you aware that such events are not healthy for the life and performance of your electronics?
No?
Well, then you are welcome because now you know. Let's get into it. I promise to keep this post short and sweet.
An Uninterrupted Power Supply, or UPS, is essentially a fancy name that describes a battery backup unit with built-in surge protection.
See here's the thing, all of your electronics demand a constant stream of electricity. When you plug directly into a wall outlet you're not necessarily getting a nice and clean flow of electricity. It fluctuates.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing as most of the time these fluctuations are rather small and relatively harmless, however, over time these small fluctuations can add up and wreak havoc on your devices, diminishing their overall life expectancy and performance.
A UPS limits this and provides your electronics with a smooth and clean stream of electrons.
The best part about owning a UPS is that during thunderstorms it'll cut itself off from the wall outlet and run on batteries to protect everything plugged into it, and suppresses the fluctuations that occur during power spikes and outages.
If you have a computer plugged into one be sure to set the PC up so that it shuts down automatically after a few minutes when it detects a power outage and knows it's running on the UPS backup.
These settings are typically found in your computer's power settings.
And there you have it.
If I managed to convince you of the importance of owning this often overlooked, yet, very important device then please consider clicking here to purchase the one that I use for the majority of my electronics. I will receive a small commission from your purchase so thank you very much for showing your support.đ
