OK, maybe a better example would be solar powered battery bank, powering a travel trailer. Charge comes in to the batts from the PV, while load goes out from them. All there is to think about, is the resultant charge from the PV, a net positive, or negative number but the flow is varying but constant and can be either, depending on the load, or the PV production, multiple times per day.
My understanding was that the "flow out" is coming from the inverter or other part of the battery management system (which gets its input from the solar panels in this case), not directly from the battery. So the inverter (or other part of the system, I am not familiar with it) splits the incoming current into A) goes into the battery B) to the electric consumers.

I am not sure if chemically it is possible to push current into the battery while in the same time being able to pull current out on the very same anode/cathode. That sounds weird to me. But I might be very wrong (would not be the first time :D)

Take the inverter out of the scenario.
