Power cuts and sudden voltage spikes can shut down a computer, a router or a gaming console in an instant. When that happens you can lose work, miss an online meeting, or corrupt a game save. The risk is higher if you rely on the internet for work or entertainment. The APC Back UPS 500VA 300W 230V 8 BS1363A Outlets USB keeps your devices running long enough to save your files and shut down safely, while also protecting them from harmful surges.
