    you'll need to know how much power you need and at what rate and how long you'll need it

    power is voltage times current

    batteries are rated in amp hours, how many amps can be delivered for how long..

    An inverter and battery sounds much like a UPS. Is this what you need? UPS' are rated in maximum load and minutes of reserve. The advantage is, they are a complete engineered unit complete with automatic battery charger and auto transfer from utility power to battery backup power. As long as you know the watts or volt-amps of the load, you can select from a wide assortment of units with ratings equal to or greater than the load.
