does this also provide surge protection? Or can you plug a surge protector into it?

It comes with grounded cord and since it has surge protection might assume the ground connection is involved that protection but I am not electrical expert.

Yes, this functions as a surge protector also. Battery & Surge Protected Outlets = 4; Surge-Only Protected Outlets = 2

No, it doesn't but make sure you plug it in the wall not a surge protector.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

I have not used surge protectors and have had it in place for several years with no problem. I'm not in a lightning prone region, but we do have occasional thunderstorms.

No surge protection, not really a power strip either, I DJ and use it to plug 4 lights into one plugged switch, so when I turn the switch It controls 4 lights at once. Hope this helps

Actually, that's a good question! In other words, once a surge is encountered does, #1: the device re-function as an electrical line connection?, and, #2: does it re-function as a surge protector? I honestly can't for sure answer either one of those questions. I usually use these devices, in-line with other surge protection, and once in a while use them in the field, for my laptop computers as the primary surge protection. So, insofar as the field work is concerned, I really don't know if I've ever encountered a surge to test the efficiency of the protection, ie re-function of the device?!

No, it does not, and since most surge protectors are very temporary, if you use one it should be a separate unit. Most units of this sort do not use them. I do not.

Looking at the description, it says it's a surge protectory. However, I was only using it for the adaptor issues.

it plugs into the power supply directly. Then plug into the wall or surge protector of your choice.

Yes it is, at least that's what it says on the box ! It doesn't have a surge protector light on it, like most surge protectors, But if it wasn't built in to it, I'm sure, they would advertise it as a surge protector ! But it is a really cool unit, with 2 usb moutlets, 2 1 amp, & 2 2.1 amp for faster charging, very cool !

Mine is plugged directly into a surge protector, so yeah you could plug it into the wall.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

A neat little surge protector, ideal for any appliance that has a computer control e.g. microwave, refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, laptop, iPad, iPhone etc. Although my home is protected by an all-house electrical surge protection unit (we live in a very high lightning probability area), I have also used specialized surge protectors for TV and Audio equipment as well as Computers that are all connected to incoming cable installations. Don't forget the telephone as well. Belkin provide a similar device that will protect your incoming phone line.

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.
