For one Pi a 5 volt regulator connected to a battery
that's held on a float charger is probably the cheapest,
though I think the combo will cost more than any Pi. The
efficiency of such a setup is poor, but for one Pi it's
probably better than a more elaborate scheme. Also, there
is no need for line detection logic, which can be tricky.
For my part I settled on a small inverter/charger connected
to a 12 volt battery. It's even more expensive, but has extra
capacity to run all of my computer and network equipment.
Cost at the time was about $600, more than half of it the
lithium iron phosphate battery. A bit cheaper now.
Rated output is 800 W 120 VAC 60 Hz. The battery can deliver
about half that power for about an hour, or run my equipment
overnight. Standby loss is about 10 watts.
