A monitoring system and method for charging multiple battery packs in an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system includes a plurality of submodules, a power bus element, and a computing device. The plurality of battery submodules is coupled to the electric aircraft and each battery submodules comprises a battery management component which comprises a sensor to detect a health metric. The power bus element is electrically connected to each battery submodule of the plurality of battery submodules. A computing device is connected at each battery submodule and is configured to receive the health metric form the sensor, determine a charging status of the battery submodule as a function of the health metric, and charge the battery submodules using the power bus element as a function of the charging status.
