The BQ40Z50-R4 device can permanently disable the battery in the case of repeated cell overvoltage events. PFAlert()[COVL] and PFStatus()[COVL] use the same logic and data flash settings as SafetyAlert()[COVL] and SafetyStatus()[COVL] with the exception of there being no recovery mechanism. It is recommended to not have both PFStatus()[COVL] and SafetyStatus()[COVL] enabled at the same time.
