Sump pump help

Recently had an addition put onto my house, new part has a basement which has a sump pump. But doesn’t have a battery backup.

Is it possible to add a backup pump system like this one ? In the same well thing or do I have to replace the whole pump for one like this one which looks like a 2 in one?

Should be able to add a battery backup.

- And if you can swing it, I'd honestly throw another small pump in there for redundancy.
