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 show 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. Accordingly, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the concepts presented is defined only by the appended claims. For example, some examples illustrate systems with two batteries, but it is understood 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 dictates other...

Techniques for implementing multigroup and component connectivity detection are provided. In some configurations, an individual PCM can test connectivity between components of a device without manipulating the components. For example, a PCM configured in accordance with the present disclosure may test connectivity between a motherboard, display circuitry, cameras, and multiple battery packs without manipulating the motherboard, display circuitry, cameras, and the like. In some configurations, conductors that are part of the cable and connectors used to connect components may be used to determine the status of one or more connections. When a signal across a conductor reaches one or more criteria, the device's PCM causes a predetermined delay before enabling one or more components. Other problems caused by faulty connections can be mitigated by testing connectivity between components before each component transitions to an operational state.
Description
Background technique [0001] Many developments have been made to improve the way batteries are used in mobile devices. For example, some circuits provide safety features in the event the battery is exposed to high levels of electrical 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 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 time when the component is fully powered. Such a design can result in an inhibited ability to protect components of the equipment, since powering a component with a faulty connection 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 proble...
