This contradicts my experience, at least with the ANT BMS
I actually never had one fail shorted, I had one who couldn't activate its mosfets anymore, but they remained closed.

I'm not sure if you're using the term the same way I'm used to seeing: "closed" is usually used to mean closed contacts, or a FET that is "on", which means it's connecting it's source and drain, and that's what a shorted FET does, too.

If the FETS are shorted, then the are "permanently activated" in that they can't be turned off.

If the problem you had was that the FETs couldn't be turned on, then usually that would be called "remaining open", AFAIK.

And the thing is able to detect that something is wrong with the mosfets, it will then beep at you continuously to tell you that something's not working as it should, it's not silent anymore

It would be SOOOOOO good if they all could detect an issue with their FETs and notify the user there is a problem!

That would probably prevent some fires here and there....

But there are many different brands of BMS and not all are created equal

They certainly aren't.

Ah yeah, I meant open of course.
