No.
1% chance to get it done that way.

Kickstarter project could be an exception (I heard of this at one time, probably in > $200 range.)

So, it's better to go with a standard UPS... Just for knowledge: which kickstarter you are talking about?

There are some telecom battery backup unit that can offer DC 12V UPS which is more efficient than 110V AC UPS. (Search eBay)
Re: kickstarter campaign
Sorry I forgot, not a backer on that project. It's at least 6 months ago.

LP Alpha/Delta has 3 different and independent power paths:
4-pin DC_in, USB-C PD sink, 10-pin 2S Li-Ion battery pack.
All have their own designs and associated requirements.

As I had stated earlier, not sure LPA will accept 12V 3A USB-C PD power supply/battery pack when 15V 3A PD power capability is not being offered. You'll have to test yourself. If 12V3A offer is not accepted, only LattePanda engineers can answer your question.

Any other recommendations to ZMI USB PD Backup Battery since it's out of stock on Amazon?
