3.3 Cell Overvoltage Protection
The device can detect cell overvoltage in batteries and protect cells from damage by preventing further
charging.
Upon COV detection, a snapshot of the measured cell voltages are made available in COVSnapshot().
This snapshot is available until the next instance of a COV fault, as this causes the data to be updated to
the latest set of measurements.

3.4 Overcurrent in Charge Protection
The device has overcurrent in charge protection that can be configured to specific current and delay
thresholds to accommodate charging behaviors. See Section 3.1.4 for additional FET action options.
