Its not USB-C PD just

Needs prob more than just a little Pi Lipo and this is slight overkill but capable for extended run times.

But if you search around there are lithium ones

But its quite good being 12v 3amp as there are a lot of 'Alarm panels' that if you do some sourcing will have an discharge alarm.
Lead acid though.

There are some quite cheap boards for the budding electronic genius out there where a current & voltage sense circuit could be added with a modicum of knowledge and have quite a kickass 12v UPS
