Does the surge protection protect the USB outlets as well as the AC outlets?

I say "yes" by implication and design. Read the following review of the Accell: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-travel-power-strip-with-usb/Neither the review nor the company website specifically state that the USB outlets are surge protected, so you have to draw your own conclusion OR contact Accell support.

Yes it does but like me I never plug my big electronics and my DJ gear directly into the wall I always use a surge protector its worth it I fried one of my old mixers at a party it sucked so I do recommend using a surge for your big and expensive stuff you don't want fried

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.

I would get a heavy duty surge protector for an air conditioner. I think this unit is best suited for small electronics.

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

It does not need a surge protector and just plugs into a 110 volt electric socket. But overseas outlets may be different and require an adapter. Need to research wherever you are going to be.

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

These surge protectors are connected to the main bus through the breakers you connect them to, they do not prevent voltage spikes they just limit the surge effects through a gating effect that limits the amount of surge that gets through. They attempt to allow only a small amount of the surge to get through and drain the rest to ground. They are not not perfect but they may save your expensive electronics.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

Yes, you will still need to have a surge protector and you cannot incorporate one into the unit itself. Not with the way it is currently designed.

No, it does not come with a surge protector but it does have a fuse inside that will blow if the current limit is exceeded.

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

I don't believe it has a built in surge protection. My Belkin has always been plugged into a UPS (uninterruptable power source) with surge protection.

No, it is a conventional outlet that is recessed to allow for more convenient routing of cables and power cord for wall mounted TV sets.I have a whole house surge protector, so this was not a concern for me regarding this particular item. I hope this helps.Steve Gray

No, it does not. You would have to purchase a surge protected outlet to install instead of the standard outlet provided. The picture of the product is deceiving.

Actually on the back it says "Surge protective devices", it doesn't say how much surge protection. It also says: "125 Vac 50/60Hz 15A USB 5V DC 3A VPR L-N 1200, L-G 1000, N-G 1000 UL No. E363654 Surge protective devices CAN ICES -3(B)/NMB -3(B)" Maybe some of that was helpful? Brenda

Its a power strip and not a surge protector. But,traveling in Europe you discover electrical outlets are few and far between. This device allows multiple units to be charged from a single outlet, yet compact enough to throw in an overnight bag. Remember, its a power strip not an adapter or converter.
