The daily cycle battery is designed to cycle...if you leave it fully charged for a long period it will be unhappy. It is meant to be used.
The backup battery is designed to wait. If you cycle it every day it will degrade.
So you need to know what you plan to do with it.
Would you happen to know off hand how much lithium Tesla's Giga factory will consume per year?
