About half a cup of water splashed onto the floor near my power bar and unplugged it about 30 seconds afterwards and cleaned up the water as best I could. I replaced the power bar and the extension cord, but do I need to replace the chargers that where plugged into the power bar?

Thanks.

Probably not, those are sealed pretty well: But you won't really know until you use the chargers if they were damaged.
Make certain the salt-water is all cleaned up and Completely dry before placing the new surge protector on the same spot; salt-water is a very good conductor/electrolyte compared to plain water, you don't need anymore excitement with electricity and shorts.

Thanks and will do.
 


Your welcome. Please let us know how this turns out. I don't know about you, but replacing those blankety-blank!! little charges seems harder to me then renovating a computer. You can never find the correct one(s) and none of the ones I have saved over the years are never correct for the item that needs a new one.
