I use a Ryobi inverter and have multiple batteries. Right now Ryobi days has the 150w inverter with two 4ah batteries for $100. This won't work if you need always on internet, but for most, 5 minutes offline is not a big deal for YouTube etc. Doing it this way will also save you money because these UPS units are constantly charging and discharging, even if they have a super fast switch over instead of powering your devices off the battery all the time to achieve the always on feature.
I stopped using a UPS for my internet equipment when the battery died. While waiting for a deal on a replacement I noticed I saved like $5-10 a month on my electric bill. Technically I can use my savings to buy a tool + two 4ah batteries every year for free. With prices rising I save even more.

I'd suggest researching other solutions though. The one in the link is slightly bigger than this, and claims 120 minutes, but says intermittent 10% duty cycle and does not state the size of the pump used to come up with the runtime. The reviews also state if the power is lost, and the UPS drains to 0 and shuts down, it does not come back up when power is restored. I think that's standard for the computer UPS units like the slickdeal post. Not a big deal for a PC you need to manually power back on anyway, but a bigger deal for the pump since you want it to work even if you are not at home to tend to it. If you go this route you would need another solution and be prepared to get home immediately to switch from the UPS to another power source.

I mean, even the cheap small units designed for your internet equipment use much smaller lithium batteries and cost half the price of this, or the ryobi days inverter + two 4ah batteries. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HDC236Q/
