When my laptop is plugged into 110 volts and charging does the charging brick that changes the AC to DC provide protection against power surges and spikes?
Should I still have a surge suppressor in line with the charging brick? I have been told that most of the surge suppressors do not protect very well.
Since I only camp a few time a year, I do not want to invest into an expensive $$$ Surge Guard Automatic Transfer Switch.
With your laptop "charging brick" you have absolutely NO PROTECTION. Do buy a UPS and use it at home and in the RV. Here is a link to UPS's offered on amazon.com. You can find UPS's for about $60 on up. A UPS offers protection from low voltages, voltage surges, power outages and more.
