Abstract

The invention provides a charging method which can increase the charging capacity of a battery array while controlling the voltage of each battery at or below the maximum specified voltage. The method of charging a battery array performs constant current, constant voltage charging of a battery array while detecting the voltage of each battery. The battery array is a plurality of series connected batteries. The charging method detects the voltage of each battery cell at a prescribed sampling rate. When the voltage of any battery cell exceeds a preset maximum specified voltage, charging power is reduced for constant current, constant voltage charging of the battery array.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a charging method for a battery pack in which a plurality of batteries are connected in series, and more particularly to a charging method most suitable for charging a battery pack in which a plurality of lithium ion secondary batteries are connected in series. Background technique [0002] When charging a battery pack in which a plurality of batteries are connected in series, each battery is charged with the same current. Therefore, when the electrical characteristics of all batteries are exactly the same, the voltages of the charged batteries become the same voltage. However, in actual battery pack charging, the voltages of the individual batteries do not become the same because the electrical characteristics of all battery cells are not exactly the same. The voltage difference between individual batteries gradually increases with use. This is due to the inconsistent degradation of individual cells. Although this s...
