1. A method, comprising:
providing a plurality of cells associated with a plurality of cell characteristics;
for each cell among the plurality of cells, determining a batch compatibility number based at least in part on the plurality of cell characteristics associated with the plurality of cells, wherein the batch compatibility number indicates a number of compatible cells with that cell;
evaluating the plurality of cells according to the batch compatibility numbers;
identifying a plurality of compatible cells based on evaluating; and
assembling a battery by including the plurality of compatible cells from the plurality of cells in the battery.
