PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SOFTWARE.
1. "AS IS" / GPL / NON-COMMERCIAL USE
This software ("Battery Pack Architect") is a visualization aid for hobbyists. It is NOT professional engineering software and does not perform certification-level calculations for thermal dissipation, current path resistance, fuse ratings, or similar safety-critical parameters.
The software is provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
The software is provided free of charge. Any voluntary donations or support (e.g., via "Buy Me a Coffee") do not constitute a commercial transaction, sale, or business activity, and do not alter the non-commercial, hobbyist nature of this project.
2. NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Designs visualized here do not constitute professional engineering or electrical advice. You agree that you will not rely solely on this software for the construction of high-energy devices. Always have your designs reviewed by a qualified electrical engineer or other appropriately certified professional before construction.
3. HIGH RISK WARNING
Lithium batteries can cause fires, explosions, severe injury, property damage, and death if mishandled or improperly designed. By using this software, you acknowledge and agree that:
4. USER COMPETENCE & AGE
