I'm looking to use an M18 12Ah battery for a different project, specifically for kids' power wheels, but I want to make sure it doesn't get too low in voltage. What low voltage protection systems or methods can I add to ensure the battery stays safe?

It really depends on how many amps your project will draw. For kids' power wheels, you might not need something too fancy, but a simple low voltage cutoff switch could work well. This will help prevent your battery from discharging too much and getting damaged.
I suggest using a battery management system (BMS) that has low voltage protection built-in. It'll monitor the voltage and disconnect the battery when it drops below a certain level, which is super helpful for keeping your battery healthy in a power wheels setup.
