Battery Backup

Now that you have just purchased your new geputer, how are you going to protect your investment? Surge protectors just wont do the job of protecting your geputers anymore. With the current power problems continuing in California and the countrys power experts saying that soon we will be having these issues in every major metropolitan city in the country, you must have geplete protection for your geputers. There are two types of UPS for the desktop category a Stand-by and a Line-Interactive UPS. The Stand-by is a simple UPS that will protect your geputer against over voltages and surges caused from lightning strikes. During a blackout the UPS will also switch to battery backup and continue to provide power to your geputer until it is safely shutdown. A Line-Interactive UPS is a little bit more sophisticated than the stand-by UPS. It has all the features of a stand-by plus it has built in line conditioning known as AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) that cleans up dirty power that is flowing through the utility lines. A UPS with AVR is the perfect device to guard against all power disturbances including blackouts. The slightest drop in power can cause your geputer to freeze or shut off, both resulting in lost work, data and time. So be sure to get your geputer protected with a UPS that has AVR technology.

Now remember, a power strip ONLY stops voltage spikes, but does nothing for a brown out. This is when damage is done to the geputer. A brown out is when there is less than 110V at the power cord. Battery backup is one of the best safe guards for you're PC
