A power distribution system for an aircraft, comprising: a plurality of electric propeller units (EPUs), a first paired battery pack unit, the first paired battery pack unit, and a second paired battery pack unit. The first paired battery pack unit may include a first battery electrically connected to a second battery via a first high voltage bus. The first battery may be configured to provide power to a first set of EPUs of the plurality of EPUs, the second battery may be configured to provide power to a second set of EPUs of the plurality of EPUs, the first battery may be configured to act as a backup battery for powering the second set of EPUs, and the first high voltage bus and the second high voltage bus may be electrically separate from one another.
