Portable equipment that can operate from a battery pack or an external power source (such as a wall-adapter or external supply) needs to be able to smoothly switch between the two power sources. This application note describes a circuit (Figure 1) that switches power sources with good efficiency and without switching noise. Figure 1.
You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino. As long as the mains are good the higher voltage will block the current from the battery. When the mains fail the battery will have a higher voltage and provide power through its diode.
Default supply should be provided by an external power supply (1). In parallel, the connected power supply should charge the permanently installed battery (4) via a DC coverter (2) followed by charge controller/BMS (3) - depending on the applied accumulator technology. So the battery should be constantly fully charged.
A relay will have some switching time with no power output. You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino. As long as the mains are good the higher voltage will block the current from the battery.
With mains present, the DC supply will maintain/charge the battery and power connected peripherals at the same time. You need to regulate the DC supply output voltage to match the battery maintenance-charge level (about 13.7V). At this level, you can leave it connected/powered at all times. Switchover is instant as this is a hot standby connection.
Normally, two power supplies can be paralleled with diodes (just like in an OR gate) or small (e.g. 1 ohm, depending on the current draw) resistors. And if you also use two relays (i.e. one for each supply) you can switch from one to another without cutting the power of the target.
