P80-1500 vs Eaton 5P1500RT
The Xtreme Power P80-1500 and Eaton 5P1500RT are both 1500 VA 120 V line-interactive rack UPS with AVR and true sine wave output. The Eaton carries slightly higher rated watts; the P80-1500 differentiates on full-load runtime, shallower depth, installation flexibility, and battery warranty.
What the P80-1500 brings
- Longer runtime at full load (6 min vs 3 min)
- Shallower rack depth for improved fit
- Rack, tower, and wall installation
- Local Web/SNMP management on both platforms
- Longer standard battery warranty
