Does anyone know if it would be practical to geta 24V ac 50 Hz power
supply from a stand-by battery?

I'd think there'd be an inverter involved but are these easily
available for this output? The aim is to run an electronic device
during power failures, but getting a different device might be easier
than getting 24V ac.

I would be tempted to see if the electronic device can be modified to
feed it DC (since there is a fair chance it converts its AC input to DC
at some point anyway).

Failing that an invertor will do the trick, although many will produce
240V not 24. A change to their tansformer may fix that however depending
on the design.
