11. A method for redundant electric power for an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
detecting a first battery pack datum of a battery pack using at least a first pack monitor unit comprising a first sensor suite;
detecting a second battery pack datum of the battery pack using at least a second pack monitor unit comprising a second sensor suite;
receiving, by a battery management system, the first battery pack datum from the at least a first battery pack monitor and the second battery pack datum from the at least a second pack monitor unit; and
comparing the first battery pack datum to the second battery pack datum as a function of a threshold value.
