Battery back up sump pump

Hello all. I was wondering about the performance of battery back up sump pumps?

We lost power for 5 days due to Sandy. The basement flooded because the sump pump did not work.

If we get a battery back up sump pump, do we need to replace the 5 yr old working (when there is power) sump? Or some how hook the battery up to it?

Is there a suggested brand? Or is battery back up not the way to go? Maybe a different type of sump pump?

Thanks for your advice!
