A method of producing an aircraft battery system comprises identifying a volume of free space on an aircraft 100, and arranging a plurality of electrical power cells 112, 114 such that they are capable of fitting into the identified volume, wherein the arrangement of cells 112, 114 has a non-cuboid shape. The cells 112, 114 are fixed together such that the relative positions of the electrical power cells 112, 114 are maintained and they are electrically connected together, to provide a battery 102, 104. A DC-to-DC converter 106, 108 is electrically connected to the battery 102, 104, the DC-to-DC converter 106, 108 being configured to control a voltage of the battery 102, 104 to be equal to a specified voltage or within a specified voltage range. The batteries 102, 104 may have any desired non-cuboid configuration, such as various prismatic shapes (e.g. triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal etc, irregular), a parallelepiped, an irregular shape or a line of connected cells. Preferably, the arrangement of cells substantially fills the identified volume(s) on the aircraft.
