 Lithium banks can go dormant at low voltages in order to protect themselves: Lithium banks can go dormant at low voltages in order to protect themselves:
  
-  - the BMS turns off the DISCHARGE channel+  - the BMS turns off the DISCHARGE channel to keep cell voltage from going any lower 
 +  - so the battery internally has ~11.0v or whatever but does not pass that voltage to the terminals on the outside of the battery case
   - which means smart chargers don't see battery voltage   - which means smart chargers don't see battery voltage

 What we need is a //dumb// voltage source to get the party restarted.  The starter battery will do nicely.   What we need is a //dumb// voltage source to get the party restarted.  The starter battery will do nicely.
