The present invention is a system and method for formation and packaging of a rechargeable battery. Battery is packaged with multiple modules with each module containing cells of different sizes. A controller reads the state of charge of battery modules and if state of charge is low, battery modules with smaller cells are charged first. The system is comprising of battery modules with each module holding one size cells and the package holding modules of different cell sizes. It is possible to have each module formed with different cell sizes as well. Logics in the controller memory determines the recharging sequence of the battery modules and send charging command to recharging hardware.
