There are provided methods and systems for operating battery packs. One example method includes obtaining voltages of batteries of the battery pack, which includes a plurality of the batteries connected to a circuit. The method also includes obtaining an output current to be output from the battery pack and selecting a subset of the batteries capable collectively of providing the output current. The subset includes one or more selected batteries selected from among the plurality of the batteries. The subset has a subset voltage being substantially similar to a voltage of each of the selected batteries. The subset may be selected such that the selected batteries have substantially similar voltages and the subset voltage is maximized. The method also includes drawing the output current from the subset of the batteries. Other methods and systems for operating a battery pack are also provided.
