1. A system for energy tracking in an electric aircraft, comprising:
a battery pack including a plurality of battery modules;
a sensing device configured to:
detect a battery parameter of a battery module of the plurality of battery modules; and
generate battery data as a function of the battery parameter; and
a computing device communicatively connected to the sensing device and configured to:
receive the battery data from the sensing device;
determine a power distribution of the at least a battery module by determining whether the battery module is generating power at an uneven rate compared to the plurality of battery modules; and
determine a remaining battery life for the battery pack as a function of the battery data and an energy saving machine learning model.
