Not a "battery pack" in the sense of something portable but there are devices called Uninterruptible Power Supplies that Are a big battery built into the surge protector (they are fairly heavy) and if properly sized will give you enough time to exit what you are doing and shut down the computer properly, I need to get one myself, last week I was trying to tweak the case fans in the Bios and the power kept going out on my BRAND NEW SYSTEM, it's REALLY ANNOYING (part of why i've kept to laptop use for most stuff, I also want to get one for work just to run me that 10-15 seconds between a power outage the Emergency Generator kicking on so I won't keep losing hours worth of work.

You're going to need a uninterruptible power supply, and a good one at that if you want the computer to still survive a power loss while you're gaming (unless you aren't). However, they're mostly to give you enough time to cleanly shut down the computer, so about 30 minutes or so.

I've had 2 of these: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7RD2WW8809 for 3 years and have worked flawless.1 powers my monitors and Modem,the other powers the PC.

550 wat psu means nothing.Thats just what your PSU is rated at.

Honestly start by getting a Kill-a-watt power meter and see what kind of wattage you are actually pulling from the wall to run everything and go from there using the video above, or go all out and buy the biggest unit you can get, just make sure it's at least big enough to handle your system at load.

What components are in your system we can get a better idea of what your needs will be.

My power supply for my computer is on 550 watt, My monitor is an AOC e2752Vq (i don't know how much watt my monitor use), and the AC power outles supplies 230 watt.

 

My computer specs are:

• Motherboard: Maximus Hero VII
• CPU Intel Core i5 4690K
• RAM: Kingston KHX1600C10D3/8G
• Graphics:
  • Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
  • AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (Primary)

What's the GPU exact 200 series is very generic as it can vary wildly to what you will need.

 

Just basing at around the ~230W and a little more something like this would be a good option:

I can't use that one. The AC outlet we are using is this one

Ah ok those would be schuko plugs so you will need something like this instead, a 405W capable unit would be more than what you would need basing it off the approx 200W power draw:
