Watchmon Critical Error while charging

The battery I’m charging throws a critical error
I’m using Canbus native 2.0 protocol and via my app I have logged the critical and charging flags coming from the watchmon. This is on a 44V battery pack.

Log

CriticalFlag: 1 ChargeFlag: 1 DchgFlag: 1 HeatFlag: 0 CoolFlag: 0 CellBFlag: 0

Normal Phase: Voltage present, Current within limits, Staying ON
CriticalFlag: 3 ChargeFlag: 3 DchgFlag: 1 HeatFlag: 0 CoolFlag: 0 CellBFlag: 0
CRITICAL ERROR 1

Critical Flags bit 0 & 1 are set.

From the native canbus 2.0 documentation "WatchMon - Canbus Native 2.0 messages " pdf
critical control flags, Bit 0 is OK state (relay state) , bit 1 is Transistion of state, and bit 2 is precharge.

What does bit 1&2 mean?

The C code I’ve inherited errors on any flag set other than bit 0.

In the toolkit app no fields are highlighted in yellow to indicate an error

The tookit app did produce an snap shot which does refer to a critical error as below, but doesn’t seem to say what caused it.
