How about one of those cellphone battery banks? They can simultaneously
supply power while being charged from an AC converter, and will continue to
supply power (for a reasonable time) after the AC has cut out.

Outside of the smarts, and the DC-AC converter, they seem to be capable of
acting as a UPS for a Raspberry PI. Just plug the Pi into the battery pack's
DC output port, and the wall wart into the battery pack's charger input
port.
