This post is from my perspective, in my opinion and to the best of my understanding...
A protection circuit board is a BMS that does not do cell balancing.
The protection modes include
Because of thermal runaway bms's are typically tightly integrated with the battery pack.
Since Lifepo4 and Lead acid are inherently safer from thermal runaway perhaps BMS technology and system design will change as we move away from using roman candles for batteries.
Most of the concepts could move to system management and away from battery manament.
I imagine smarter and smarter all in one units leaving only the essential protections at the battery.
As a thought experiment, how could the protection circuit features benefit lead acid batteries?
Also, could active or passive balancing be useful for lead acid batteries?

The protection modes include
- excess discharge current
- under/over voltage
- excess charge current
- low/high temperature
- etc...
