A vehicle includes an electrical system for balancing a state of charge in a battery pack. The electrical system includes a plurality of module groups. A switch array includes a plurality of switches. Each switch is coupled to a respective module group. The switch can be in one of a first state that connects the module group to a first low voltage bus, a second state that connects the module group to a second low voltage bus, and a third state in which the module group is disconnected from both the first low voltage bus and the second low voltage bus. The array is placed in a first phase of a mode of operation with at least one switch in one of the first state and the second state and cycles through the phases of the mode to balance a charge between the plurality of module groups.
