Spec by spec
A green mark is the better published figure on that row. Blank cells mean the vendor did not publish the number — we do not estimate.
| Metric | AF-P180Pro | Elite 100 V2 | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1,024 Wh | 1,024 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |

| Weight lower is better | 28.0 lb | 25.0 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $499 | $899 | Hub catalogue list price (same figure as product pages). Historical lows stay off this column. |

| UPS switchover lower is better | — | 10 ms | How long the unit takes to switch to battery. Under 20 ms keeps a desktop alive. |
