Power back up

The recent power interruptions have really interrupted my work.
I am looking for a back up power solution that can power my devices and maybe router during such an event.
I cannot have a backup generator since I'm in an apartment and solar is not a solution too.
Anyone know of something I can purchase?
I would like something that is easily portable, automatic transition when power goes off is a big plus.

But the longer the better of course If you need a reliable backup , you may need to trade the portability part. If you have the funds you could go for a battery - inverter setup which unlike the generator eliminates noise and fuel use. "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Stephen Wright

What about charging of the battery(ies), Solar or MAINS powe? The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.
