Takes prep time though, the potato/peroxide science, and you need to be home. One great feature of the battery powered air pumps (the ones I have anyhow) is that they sense power outage & switch on automatically. The magic of relays.

True enough, but if for some reason your air pump breaks or you run out of batteries its an option.

A low tech emergency back up.
