A marine propulsion system (2) includes a marine drive (3) having an electric motor powerhead (4), at least one marine battery (18a-d), at least a first connection cable (90) having a connector configured to removably connect to a drive port (428) on a housing of the marine drive (3), and an interlock circuit (500). The interlock circuit (500) is configured to provide a completed circuit when the at least one battery and the marine drive (3) are connected via at least the first connection cable (90), wherein the interlock circuit (500) is independent from a power circuit (443) delivering power from the at least one marine battery (18a-d) to the marine drive (3). The at least one battery (18a-d) is configured to identify whether the interlock circuit (500) is completed and to control an internal disconnect (550) to connect to the power circuit (443) when the interlock circuit (500) is completed and to disconnect from the power circuit (443) when the interlock circuit (500) is opened.
