    Are you talking about a battery-backed up power supply? Power normally comes from the power grid, but in the event of a power failure, it comes from battery storage?

    Google "uninterruptible power supply"
    Let me google that for you

    There are also automatic generators that will kick in when a power failure occurs. I'm familiar with Generac, but I'm sure there are other brands:
