A system for aircraft power management and distribution, including a sensor suite configured to measure battery pack data. The system includes a battery pack with a plurality of batteries and a battery monitoring component. This battery monitoring component is configured to measure battery pack data. The system also has electric power converters, each connected to a battery of the plurality of batteries. The system also includes a controller configured to control each electric power converter; receive an estimated charge from each battery; select and enable electric power converters based on the estimated charge; compare the total output of the enabled electric power converters against an optimal operating region; and adjust the number of the one or more enabled electric power converters accordingly.
