I believe they’re available as backup but re-calibrate themselves with GPS coordinates if available. This is not a problem when GPS jamming is used but becomes an issue with spoofing - the pilots need to monitor for it.
I think they talk about it in this video by flightradar24 somewhere: https://youtu.be/4dG_Whxzdkk
It may be possible to get past that, I’ve seen people disassembling the battery to get the BMC and connecting the DC power supply to that instead.
It sounds way more risky than OP’s initial idea. I wouldn’t recommend taking apart batteries.
