Problems solved by technology
Although there have been some improvements in recent years, there are many shortcomings and inefficiencies when it comes to some current technologies
For example, when a device is designed with multiple protection circuits and multiple battery packs, most protection circuits cannot determine whether a battery or other component is properly connected until the component is fully powered
Such designs can lead to inhibited ability to protect components of the equipment, as supplying power to components with faulty connections can lead to serious consequences including unwanted discharges, short circuits, leaks or even fires
[0002] In addition to problems arising during the use of the equipment, the above-mentioned problems can also cause problems in manufacturing or repair scenarios
Similar to the examples above, when relying on some existing technology, it may be difficult to test the components of the device without manipulating the components, or to test the connectivity between the components
The use of some existing technologies can lead to a range of inefficiencies, including but not limited to production and safety inefficiencies

Embodiment Construction
[0028]In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which illustrate by way of illustration specific example configurations in which the concepts may be practiced. These configurations are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the techniques disclosed herein, and it is to be understood that other configurations may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed description is not to be regarded in a limiting sense, and the scope of the concepts presented is limited only by the appended claims. For example, some examples illustrate systems with two batteries, but it will be appreciated that the techniques described herein may be applied to systems with more than two batteries and more than two PCMs.
[0029] Throughout this specification and claims, unless the context clearly di...

Techniques for enabling multi-pack and component connectivity detection are provided. In some configurations, individual PCMs can test the connectivity between components of a device without the needto operate the components. For example, PCMs configured in accordance with the present disclosure can test the connectivity between a motherboard, a display circuit, a camera, and a number of batterypacks without the need to operate the motherboard, display circuit, camera, etc. In some configurations, conductors that are part of cables and connectors used to connect the components can be used todetermine the state of one or more connections. When a signal that runs through the conductors meets one or more criteria, the PCMs of a device cause a predetermined delay prior to enabling one or more components. By testing the connectivity between components before each component transitions to an operational state, other problems caused by faulty connections can be mitigated.
Description
Background technique [0001] Numerous developments have been made to improve the way batteries are used in mobile devices. For example, some circuits provide safety features if the battery is exposed to high levels of current. Although there have been some improvements in recent years, there are many shortcomings and inefficiencies when it comes to some current technologies. For example, when devices are designed with multiple protection circuits and multiple battery packs, most protection circuits cannot determine whether batteries or other components are properly connected until the components are fully powered. Such a design can result in an inhibited ability to protect components of the device, as supplying power to components with faulty connections can lead to serious consequences, including unwanted discharges, short circuits, leaks, or even fires. [0002] In addition to problems occurring during the use of the device, the above-mentioned problems can also cause probl...
