Can you expand on this? Is it because of the typical permanent installation of a generator which they see as a sunk cost? Or is the landlord unwilling to allow them to install one? Because a generator is what they need, and the "I need to get to San Francisco for $450 in five hours, but a commercial airliner is unreasonable" argument needs some support.
I've worked with battery units similar to the link you sent - for the kind of runtime you need and the load you want, a generator is much much cheaper. You're probably looking at a $40K battery unit if the manufacturer is a name brand and isn't lying about the actual runtime and you need another $3-5K worth of electrician work to install it, if you're not going to be running extension cords all over the office.
Either that or a nuclear battery like that town in Alaska is using, but then they'd need a nuclear engineer on their team - hey, wait...
