A battery pack having multiple cells connected through virtual connections via MOSFETs, other insulated-gate field-effect transistors, and the like. The use of virtual connections allows for the use of one or more spare battery cells, which may be swapped in for underperforming cells or to take discharged cells offline for charging. A microprocessor monitors and manages individual battery cells or batteries in an array. The battery pack of the present disclosure may further include an optional cooling system and/or a novel encapsulation to protect the cells and electronics from use in harsh environments.
