I would like to know which components that people had success with for building the battery backup.

Do you mean sourcing the parts such as micro-controller, battery cells, charge inverter ect?

You should understand it would be much more economically effective to purchase a server grade uninterruptible power supply from a computer store; or check out Princess Auto flyers for small generator.
