I am considering getting a desktop scanner for continuous use. I have a handheld (Uniden BCD396xt), but I am considering getting a BCD996P2. From what I understand desktop scanners in general have to be plugged into a wall outlet.
My question is if one can just buy a 12 V (13.9V) battery as backup for when the power goes out. If that is the case, what battery should one get? I see, for example, this cheap 12 V battery on Amazon

Would it make sense to get this and just have it sitting as a backup? Any other suggestions for batteries?
