electric adapter

Just want to check on this. If I have a power adapter is it ok to charge my Ipad and razor and such? I know that the currant is different so just want to make sure that the power surge will not short out any of my things.

Check the input and outpout tolerances on each of your devices. The adaptor, and your devices, will have these plainly stated. Most things nowadays accept 120 to 240v, which covers most anything you will encounter, but read the specs just to be sure.

That is a wide open question. See http://tinyurl.com/2y9zvv for intel on electricity.

If you want to spend more than you should, get the Apple kit.

All you really need is a plug adapter for about 5 bucks. As mentioned above though... be sure to read the chargers for your devices... anything in the range of "100-240" means you are good to go.

You want to surge protect and power condition ALL

expensive electronics or you can fry them or diminish

their useful life... so be careful rural areas and cities

in the south have a lot of brown/blackouts... come prepared.
