1. A method for energizing an electric system, comprising:
applying an energizing trigger to a first battery subassembly;
in response to the energizing trigger, connecting the first battery subassembly in series to a second battery subassembly via a current-limiting path;
delivering electric power from the first and second battery subassemblies connected in series via the current-limiting path to energize a system controller; and
once the system controller is energized, connecting the first battery subassembly in series to the second battery subassembly via a non-current-limiting path.
