The present disclosure provides a system and method for selecting a battery pack that is used to pre-charge a high-voltage DC bus of an electric vehicle. A round-robin architecture is disclosed that prevents repeat selection of battery packs in order to prevent burnout of a resistor of the battery pack resulting from rapid subsequent pre-charging events. The system and method provided includes an easy solution that is scalable to a system with any number of battery packs, does not require any additional hardware, and is an inexpensive technique to protect an expensive component of the electric vehicle.
