Hey folks found this deal the Belkin 6 outlet surge protector power board (BSV604au2M) it is $17.90 the usual price is $47.20 at Bunnings. This is a saving of $29.30 this seems to be the cheapest price to date.

Not sure of the quality or if the USB ports are each 2.4a but I'd say the USB ports are run in parallel so most likely 2.4amps split with both.

The Belkin Surge Protector, offers extra outlets, power extension from wall outlets and protects valuable electronics from damaging power surges. This power surge protector safeguards your personal computer, printer, hard drives, modems and other hard-to-replace equipment against damage, data loss, file corruption, and system crashes.

          It's a Kogan surge protector, I wouldn't compare Kogan brand to Belkin and also Belkin provide insurance for their protector. It's rare but yes, someone did get payout.

          Mine is 2650J rating.

          I was reorganising cables the other day and noticed the protected light on my surge interceptor was no longer on. No idea how long it had been that way. I also noticed I got a slight live electric feeling when touching equipment, in swapping out to another powerboard, that feeling disappeared.

          • edrift on 07/10/2018 - 19:25

            @cubiq4: Since this deal was on I went to check my DSE surge protector power board too.
            Sadly it looks like the surge protection is gone as the green protection light is off.
            Having said that, the red fault light is not on and it's functioning fine as a regular power board

      This model has a "$30,000 connected equipment warranty". i.e. If your equipment blows while this is wall pluged (not extension corded) in, then you are covered for this amount of damage.

      Also the 8 plug is 50 grand.

          For some reason, the au sub site has the connected equip warranty at 30,000 pounds instead of dollars.

          But, on the back of the product from bunnings, it says 30,000 aud.

        I have a PureAV one from a long while back that was "unlimited $" from memory. Never had to use it and the power board is still alive and all but I do remember reading the T&Cs of it one time and it was full of exceptions to be afoul of; things like must be connected directly to wall socket, and it can't be 2-pin equipment (must have earth).

          Quick Charge is proprietary technology from Qualcomm and requires the charger to also implement the technology.

          If it doesn't say QC2.0, QC3.0 or QC4.0 the it probably doesn't support it.

              @batrarobin: We had to send the surge protector to Belkin (at our expense).
              They tested the 'protector' and said it was not faulty… no further discussion, despite the fact the the device connected (a Raspberry Pi 2B, approx value $50 ) was fried.

              They then sent the protector back (Belkin paid the postage) but it was the WRONG protector ! a different model, some other poor sap's.

              So many phone calls later (to speak to a real person), Belkin said that our protector had been tested and was not faulty (so $50 claim still denied…) and they tracked down and returned it to us.

              At this stage we were questioning the whole 'testing' process and asked to see the actual test results.

              A few more phone calls and we managed to get a scanned test result sheet emailed to us BUT the scan had no identifying numbers / names / model etc, basically it could have been anyones test results…

              Some emails and phone calls later but Belkin were playing to time wasting game, no reply to emails, on phone "Sorry manager not in, I can leave a message for him to call you back" … never calls…

              SO…. at this stage we start to tire of the whole process and kiss the $50 goodbye, and vow never to buy (or endorse) a Belkin product!

              it was only $50 !

        I've been using the APE/Fortron Powerguard gear for years with only one incident. I had one lightning strike which took out the powerboard (must have been a heavy strike). Even though it was 5 years old, they replaced it. All the equipment still worked fine, afterwards, and I coudn't afford to lose the data (thank god for backups though).

    • 10101010101 on 08/10/2018 - 09:15

      Lodge a claim through your power distribution company. United energy covered the cost of my damages.

      • FicklePickle on 08/10/2018 - 10:10

        I'm just claiming through my home insurance. I don't think there's too much a power distributor can do for a lightening strike.

        They're sending someone out to look at the items.

        They turn on but the HDMI ports seem to be fried. Hopefully they replace them and don't just try to fix the HDMI ports.

    I have a more expensive Belkin surge protector which was meant to come with a "life time warranty", after 6 years it died and I tried to claim under warranty.

    Belkin however claim the "life time" is only 5 years and I would need to buy a new one. Eventually they did swap it under warranty but I wouldn't trust their insurance guarantee. It's more a marketing gimmick.

    • wtfnodeal on 07/10/2018 - 23:24

      LOL did they say which method they used to calculate life time = 5 years?

      • Charity on 08/10/2018 - 02:50

        it's dirty, but other companies with 'modern lifetime guarantees' have said it means until their product is at the end of its product life cycle, i.e. until it is superseded or no longer sold.

        • StonedWizard on 08/10/2018 - 07:48
          +3

          It sure is dirty, to me lifetime should mean in my lifetime, otherwise it's just a 5 year warranty.

          Shame ACCC hasn't had a go over companies who advertise this.

    • Bigboomboom on 08/10/2018 - 07:35

      Actually no surge protector can last 10 years (unless minimal/no usage), nobody should expect a life time surge protector. They really need to fix the "life time" warranty. 6 years is already a long time.
