Note 1: While it may appear possible to set the Battery Regulation Voltage higher than the Battery Overvoltage Cutoff Threshold, this
cannot happen because both parameters are derived from the same reference and track each other.
Note 2: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
