A marine propulsion system includes a marine drive having an electric motor powerhead, at least one marine battery, at least a first connection cable having a connector configured to removably connect to a drive port on a housing of the marine drive, and an interlock circuit. The interlock circuit is configured to provide a completed circuit when the at least one battery and the marine drive are connected via at least the first connection cable, wherein the interlock circuit is independent from a power circuit delivering power from the at least one marine battery to the marine drive. The at least one battery is configured to identify whether the interlock circuit is completed and to control an internal disconnect to connect to the power circuit when the interlock circuit is completed and to disconnect from the power circuit when the interlock circuit is opened.
