You can get them good enough to run a computer for several hours so the would last much longer on a tank heater and air pump. Get a new heater, that one is bad. I recommend a stainless steel submergable. It will have a seperate temperature probe and a dial control that you can lay down or mount one the wall. A dial control will not mess up from power surges or outages. Magicman116 said the same thing I was going to suggest.

I have ten aquariums and we have had to invest in a generator for our aquariums! We do have frequent power outages as we live in the country! Battery back are for an air pump!

I would suggest you try contacting a few of the companies that make battery back ups for computers. They could suggest a back up that would work for a certain length of time. Of course, the longer it lasts the more it would cost. Using that little power, a back up to last a few hours shouldn't cost too much. MM First, replace the obviously faulty heater unit.
