How many devices can be pluged into one wall outlet.

I have a battery backup surge protector with 8 slots all filled

in one plug and another surge protector w 6 slots all filled in the other plug, and am worried about starting a fire. Will the surge protectors shut down before any damage is done to the wiring?

I have computer modem phone ipod printer external harddrive and oother devices that use less energy.

Please advise.. And if it is too much,

what are my alternatives, as I use all of those devises in my bedroom in one area

Most wall outlets are circuit breaker protected for 20 amps. It would take a lot of computer equipment to draw that much power. You should be OK. Just be sure to back up ALL of your data, and have copies (or the master disks ) of all the programs you are running. That way, if something happens, you could rebuilt your system. The battery back up only needs to power any storage devices (computer, external hard drive).
