🧭 Summary

These parameters define how the Battery Management System (BMS) protects each cell and the overall module from over-voltage, over-current, temperature extremes, and prolonged under voltage.

They are designed to be conservative by design—ensuring cell longevity, thermal safety, and consistent balancing across the pack, but these could be lowered further to help protect cells from swelling.
