Systems and methods for an adapter for a high voltage (HV) battery system of an electrified vehicle (EV) involve an adapter housing configured to physically interface between (i) a battery module-side low voltage (LV) connector and (ii) a cell monitoring circuit (CMC) harness-side LV connector and a plurality of connector pins disposed within the adapter housing and being configured to, at their first ends, electrically connect to the module-side LV connector, at their opposing second ends, electrically connect to the harness-side LV connector, and act as a fuse such that at least one of the plurality of connector pins breaks an electrical connection therethrough in response to a current spike. In response to a blown fuse malfunction, the adapter could be replaced by a new adapter having a new adapter housing with a new plurality of connector pins disposed therein.
