talk about getting scammed. there is no surge protector that will protect anything. the only way to protect electronics is to run off batteries and have the electric recharge the battery bank. It's called conditioned power.

The reason is because lightening is so fast electronics are too slow to catch the strike and prevent damage. Sorry to burst your bubble but those are the hard core facts.
