The BMS in all LFPs may not have the same functionality regarding balancing but at the very least they should start/stop accepting charge appropriately.


It matters not what you think should happen, the truth is not all LFP
batteries have a BMS, and of those that do, not all of them protect from
over and under voltage.


Which LFP batteries don't have a BMS?

The "powersports" (ie, for engine starting) LFP don't always have a BMS. A
motorglider pilot might be tempted to use one for the engine, for example.
