there are times that if you have the adapter pluged into a power strip or serge protector the system w/n power up when the battery is low. By ether removing the battery and/or pluging into an out will allow the TP to power up. I do not believe that you will gain much by using a serge protector. All batteries have a limited abount of recharging. I think the amount is a few hundred times for the old style batterys to a thousand times for a Lit Iron battery.
