The protective components inside surge protectors absorb over-voltage spikes to protect your connected devices which means they will eventually wear out and permanently turn off. Replace them every 3 years or immediately after any over-voltage spike event such as a thunderstorm or power outage because surge protectors degrade faster if they are exposed to high intensity events. Periodically check the surge protector enclosure and cable for signs of wear or heat distress. Replace an expired surge protector with a new one at the end of its useful life.

*Product has been tested to protect against over voltage for DC ports, over temperature, over current, overload, short circuit, clamping and is made with fire resistant material featuring a surge indicator, not grounded indicator, and 3-line AC protection between hot, neutral, and ground lines.
