Most modern lithium-ion batteries—found in everything from high-end laptops to professional DJI drones—are "smart". They contain a controlled by specialized chips (like those from Texas Instruments’ BQ series). When these chips detect a fault, such as a single cell dropping below a voltage threshold, they trigger a Permanent Failure (PF) flag. This "locks" the battery, preventing it from charging or discharging as a safety precaution, even if the underlying cells are still functional. Lithium-ion batteries guide - ACCC Product Safety
