You could but it wouldnt be economical, you would need it trickle charged for months if not years waiting for the stress event it was designed to tackle, trickle charging in itself degrades the battery and wastes electricity and it would expire much earlier than it could have lasted using it that way. You’d also have to oversize the battery as you can’t discharge li-ion fully to my knowledge without damaging the life expectancy and performance, you could have an AA battery discharging for four hours but I suspect the devil is in the detail of the BEIS to stop mad propositions like a giant warehouse full of AA batteries being a viable proposition
