- Take your devices to work with their relevant charges and make sure they are completely charged when it’s knock-off time.
- Buy a car charger for those long trips or simply to get a few extra percent on your phone’s battery life while on your way home.
- Surge protectors for your electrical appliances at home can save you a lot of damage and financial cost to replace them.
- If you own a generator, it can also be used to charge devices if it is an emergency.
- When the power is out, switch off all plugs and light switches and remove the plugs from the wall sockets. This will also protect your electrical appliances when the power is turned on again.
