Question about APC BX500MI
Hello ! I spend a lot of time in Tanzania, where the electricity isn't stable, which kills the charging unit on my phones.... I'd like to buy a stabiliser so that I don't have to change it every time I come back (the latest one, Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra) lasted... 8 days on local electricity! Thank you in advance for your expert advice. Have a nice afternoon! Geneviève

Hello Geneviève
How do your neighbours solve it? This UPS is "line-interactive" and will not solve your problem in my opinion - it would need "galvanic" isolation, i.e. an online UPS, and that is expensive. I would tend towards a small generator (inverter) that works on the terrace or a small solar balcony power station, so also look at solutions with a power station and solar panels (e.g. those from Anker). There are also "real" voltage stabilisers (Qoltec Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVR 500VA - 32725390 - here at Galaxus/Digitec) and as a basis a good power strip with over-current filter/protection and over-voltage filter/protection in front of it.
