A system for dynamic excitation of an energy storage element configured for use in an electric aircraft includes a plurality of propulsors mechanically connected to the electric aircraft. The system includes a plurality of energy storage elements electrically connected to the plurality of propulsors. The system includes a bus element, wherein the bus element is electrically connected to the plurality of energy storage elements and a cross tie element connected to the bus element configured to disconnect a first energy storage element from a second energy storage element. The system includes a modulator unit electrically connected to the bus element configured to modulate a first electrical command to the first energy storage element and a second electrical command to the second energy storage element. The system includes at least a sensor configured to detect an energy datum corresponding to the first energy storage element as a function of the modulation.
