Portable Surge Protectors That Will Keep The Whole Family Charged On Vacation
Keep every device juiced and everybody happy.
Even if you trim down what you're bringing on vacation, you still probably are going to wind up with a lot of devices that need to be charged, for the whole family. Here's what to look for when you're looking for a portable surge protector to power up those tablets.
Especially for iffy power systems, such as old cabins, look for a protector with a ground warning light, so you don't fry all your phones.
Stable, non-slip design will make sure the protector stays where you put it, not where gravity takes it, and your phones.
Either a short cord or a cord that reels in or winds around the protector will make storage and use much easier when everyone's clamoring for more Netflix.
Check for the highest number of both three-prong traditional ports and USB ports, so if you lose the wall wart, you don't lose power to your phone.
And don't forget, keeping a USB-C port in reserve may help you charge up if you need to fall back on your data cable for power as well.
