Then get a battery powered back up for next time.

I would like to do that, but will both a battery powered pump and the
original electric pump fit in the same standard size hole at the same
time?

(I assume with a check valve in each pipe, they can share the same
output pipe.)

You can get a sump pump that runs from your water line, via the venturi
effect, no electricity required, as a backup. I found on looking around
the web, don't remember where but you can look.
