Belkin is the best. the small cube ones allow one outlet. buy the highest rating you can. Belkin guarantees no damage to electronics when using their surge protectors up to 10,000 dollars. if the service flickers on and off it's like quickly unplugging and pluggin back in the device quickly several times. electric service often flickers on and off during thunder or lightning storms. also current surges are not uncommon. the big killer is current surges. get a surge protector if you do this habitually.

If it gets struck by lightning while charging or left out in the rain while charging, it will be damaged as well. Other than that, I think you're all set.

Power surges sure can screw up a laptop while it's plugged into an outlet and charging. Many times on power surges you can fry motherboard components and not be able to physically see it.
