The application provides a self-heating battery and a self-heating method thereof, the battery comprising a battery core body and a shell containing the battery core body, the battery core body comprising a positive
electrode sheet and a negative
electrode sheet, a positive
electrode tab being arranged on the positive electrode sheet and connected to a positive external tab, a negative electrode tab being arranged on the negative electrode sheet and connected to a negative external tab, the negative
electrode material coated on the side of the negative electrode sheet away from the adjacent positive electrode sheet being a first negative
electrode material, and the first negative
electrode material being electrically connected to the positive external tab through a on-off connecting piece. When the first negative electrode material is in communication with the positive external tab, impedance
heat effect is generated through the first negative electrode material, self-heating of the battery is realized, the
utilization rate of the negative electrode material is fully utilized, the battery can be quickly and normally started at low temperature, the heating uniformity of the battery core during self-heating at low temperature is ensured, and the application has the beneficial effects of reasonable and simple structure design, low cost, high safety and reliability, and the like.
