I have started hosting a website on my raspberry pi, but because of the power outages, and mostly because I'm itching for a DIY project I would like to build a UPS for my pi and my router(12v-1,5A).

I have done some research and I found this, but I have no idea if this will work and I can't risk anything because pi's are really rare and expensive around here in Turkey (I know, it sux).

Has anyone built an UPS for a Pi? Do you have any blueprints? What should I consider?

Thanks

If it so rare then do not risk making your own sub standard UPS.

Go and find a cheap UPS (like a used on from eBay or something) - It doesn't need to be new since the Pi and router will only use about 5-15 watts. If you find one without a USB port then just plug your devices into the UPS.

Even the smallest UPS will be able to power your router and Pi for hours if not days and its built with quality assurance and other protection inside.
