I have one of these Noco car starter lithium batteries. It works great starting cars and it should work great to temporarily power pumps during power shortages. However, I have no idea how to make it work. How would you connect a pump to such a battery? Both AC and DC pumps.

That is an 88 watt hour battery in that model(realistically if any age it is probably at least 20% less) If you have a low watt pump it might last a few hours. It wont power heaters or similar for any length of time.

How to make it work is a different story and personally i would not try it....but believe you would need to hook up to an ac convertor. This would be required for DC pumps also as they are build to accept AC power and internally convert to DC.
