Batteries for electric marine propulsion systems, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative power system includes an enclosure having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, with each of the first end second ends including and inwardly-extending portion forming a handle region and having an opening into an interior of the enclosure. The power system can further include an electrical connector carried by the inwardly-extending portion and positioned beneath the opening of the second end, and at least one battery cell positioned in the interior of the enclosure and electrically coupled to the electrical connector. The system can still further include at least one fan positioned in the interior of the enclosure along an airflow path between the opening at the first end and the opening at the second end.

Cable connection assemblies for marine propulsion, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative connection assembly includes a multi-conductor cable having two high voltage power conductor lines, two low voltage power conductor lines, two interlock lines, and two signal lines. The assembly further includes a connector having a connector body carrying connection elements corresponding to each of the conductor lines, interlock lines, and signal lines. In further representative embodiments, one or more of the connection elements can be housed in corresponding insulating bodies. In still further representative embodiments, the assembly can be configured so that the high voltage lines are the first to mate, and the last to un-mate, which, together with the interlock loop, can reduce or eliminate the likelihood for high voltage arcing.
