There are chargers such as the Iota batter charger/power supply http://www.iotaengineering.com/dls.htm which are clean enough to run directly off of even with no battery. With a battery the battery just floats (no current in or out) as long as the battery charger is supplied AC. Once the AC drops the system runs off the battery. When power returns the Iota charger charges the battery and supplies power to the load till the battery is charged and then it just floats again.
