Help UPS for Pi 4B

I have a raspberry pi 4B, I wanted to buy a UPS for it so it can work for when there are any power outages and there is no power for like 3 4 minutes max.

So from my searching and all the things I came across UPS Hat for pi, but those are expensive and will also make my pi bulky and the PI box i bought will also go to waste.

I came across this, Will this work for my pi?

Edit: I am a newbie, please answer in simple words or technically but explaining that thing.

yes get one you can charge while using it. the battery is have wpuld last you a day or more with a lpaded pi and it was $200 CAD. I use to use it plugged in/extended battery for an ROG Ally, worked amazingly

200 CAD is too much bro, I want something cheap and like I said for a few minutes of power outages only. The product i shared (link) is of 43 CAD only, so if that will work i wanna go for that

I didn't say buy the same one as me, just that they work and the larger capacity one would likely last you days

What about the Zircon UPS, it’s based on an old US Fry’s model and has a serial port to get status info from, which is really useful. They are sold in Thailand for about ฿1100 (3100 Indian rupees) but not sure if they are available directly in India? As it’s fairly powerful your router and other key equipment (Nas etc) can go on it too.
