Information handling system battery connector detection for system reset

An information handling system comprising:

• a motherboard;
• a processor coupled to the motherboard and operable to execute instructions that process information;
• a memory coupled to the motherboard and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information;
• a controller coupled to the motherboard and interfaced with the processor, the controller operable to manage application of power at the motherboard;
• a battery receptacle directly coupled to the motherboard by first and second conductive endpieces at opposing ends, the battery receptacle further having a nonconductive frame with plural slots populated by plural conductive members between the first and second conductive endpieces, the first and second conductive endpieces interfaced with the controller through the motherboard;
• and
• a battery connector having plural conductive elements coupled in a nonconductive frame and aligned to contact the plural conductive members, the nonconductive frame having a conductive cover positioned to contact the battery receptacle endpieces when the battery connector inserts into the battery receptacle thereby completing a detection circuit through the motherboard to the controller.
