Regarding the other messages, I am surprised that the BMS does not protect from a short, I thought that was one of the stated protections officially promised. And that BMS was one major advantage of the (better) LiFePO4 batteries over SLA.

What happens is a short is way over the 15 amp max discharge current and the battery is damaged and gets hot but the BMS shuts it down at 10V before it burns.
