BQ2962: what happen if higher cell stack is connected in reverse

Tool/software:

hi team,

Can we check with you on a bq2962 question from customer

They like to know say if the higher cell was connected in reverse order

Results that the higher cell is at a lower voltage than the lower cell stack.

Other than triggering the OUT output.

What other affects would be on the 2^nd protector?

From the ABS max rating table below, the reverse voltage is only -0.3 V, so it can cause permanent damage to the bq2962 right? what might be the failure symptom in this case?

Thanks
