Embodiments for configuring a battery system are described and may include a stack of commonly connected controller circuit boards configured to connect to any battery system to provide an expandable current/power capacity to meet flexible battery architectures. The controller circuit boards in the stack may be connected to each other. For example, multiple controller circuit boards may each include one or more commonly connected identical components. The common connections among the multiple controller circuit boards may enable the various components, e.g., switches, to be controlled together by common control signals from a processor. Embodiments related to battery systems with flexible connection architectures between adjacent sets of electrochemical cells are also disclosed. For example, multiple pairs of electrical terminals may be configured to be electrically connected to multiple electrical energy storage devices using a plurality of switches (e.g., FET switches) to provide a commanded configuration.
