The Emergency Shutdown function allows the user to disable the charge and discharge FETs with an external GPIO pin. The EMSHUT and NR bits must be set high in the DA Configuration register to enable this feature. Press the SHUTDOWN pushbutton switch for one second to disable these FETs, and press it again for one second to enable them.
Remember to remove the SYS PRES-to-PACK– short, if present.
