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.
