Does that warranty still apply if the battery is used for other applications besides it's core function of powering the car?

The car battery warranty is often for X years or Y cycles, whatever comes first.
Yeah, I guessed so. Using it as a home battery with incur a lot more cycles I suppose. Although if the battery is large enough so that a day of powering a home only drains the battery eg. 10%, how does that factor into the cycle count? Is that somewhere in the small print maybe?
I would look at your warranty, mine is 8 years or 100,000 miles. It doesn’t have a cycles stipulation.
