There are several affordable Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) online and retail chains. You can go for the VGUARD UPS SESTO (600 - 600VA).

The cost of this configuration is based on the price quoted in online stores, but this can be availed for less by bargaining at retail stores in the neighbourhood.
