Multi-pack and component connectivity detection

A system, comprising:

• a first protection circuit module comprising one or more inputs, a first control interface, and a first output coupled to a first node, wherein the first protection circuit module defaults to a disabled state, and while in the disabled state, the first protection circuit module disables a first switch coupled to the first node, and in response to receiving an activated signal at the first control interface for a predetermined time, the first protection circuit module transitions to an operating state, and while in the operating state, the first protection circuit module enables the first switch and monitors the one or more inputs, and while in the operating state, the first output disables the first switch when the value of the signal at the one or more inputs of the first protection circuit module meets or exceeds the one or more thresholds;
• a second protection circuit module comprising one or more inputs, a second control interface, and a second output coupled to a second node, wherein the first protection circuit module defaults to the disabled state, and while in the disabled state, the second protection circuit module disables a second switch coupled to the second node, and in response to receiving an activated signal at the second control interface for the predetermined time, the second protection circuit module transitions to the operating state, and while in the operating state, the second protection circuit module enables the second switch coupled to the second node and monitors the one or more inputs, and while in the operating state, the second output disables the second switch when a value of a signal at the one or more inputs of the second protection circuit module meets or exceeds the one or more thresholds;
• a first conductor coupling conductive elements of one or more components;
• a first battery having a cathode coupled to the first control interface through a first resistive component, wherein the first battery comprises an anode coupled to a ground node, wherein the activated signal is received at the first control interface when the first conductor couples the first control interface to a ground node at the second protection circuit module;
• a second conductor coupling the conductive elements of the one or more components or conductive elements of other components;
• and
• a second battery having a cathode coupled to the second control interface through a second resistive component, wherein the second battery comprises an anode coupled to a ground node, wherein the activated signal is received at the second control interface when the second conductor couples the second control interface to a ground node at the first protection circuit module.
