BQ76PL536A-Q1: Reference Design Question

Part Number: BQ76PL536A-Q1

Hi,

Looking at the reference design for this circuit, the suggested balancing circuit utilises a zener diode and parallel 1M resistor with the N-FET, I understand this is to prevent the gate voltage becoming high in the event of a failure but how exactly does this work?

Thanks,

Alex
