UPS BATTERY BACKUPS
I recommend you get a UPS battery backup with surge protector to cover all situations.
Surge protectors help with power surges, but not power outages. A UPS battery backup will continue to power your computer and monitor, giving you time to save your work and properly shut down.
Summary: Think of a UPS battery backup with surge protector as insurance: You hope to never use it, but will be so very happy if you ever do.
