uninterruptible power supply (battery backup)

Since the power has never gone out here, not one day in 4 years I'm not totally worried about it, but if necessary, I would just hook up an inverter to my car's 12v and run my air pump since it's only like 50 watts. Heck my water pump too!

A good strategy IF you already have said inverter handy.
