Problems solved by technology

However, the existing charging piles charge all the modules or cells in the battery pack to the same charging cut-off voltage, which will inevitably cause overcharging of some battery packs composed of modules or cells connected in series.
[0004] Overcharging of battery cells will lead to a rapid decline in the service life of the power battery, and at the same time lead to an increase in the safety risk of the battery cells in the battery pack, which is not conducive to the development of new energy vehicles

Abstract

The invention discloses a battery pack charging method, apparatus and equipment. The battery pack charging method comprises the steps of setting a charging current value I<n> in each charging stage of a charging process; when the structure of the battery pack is a series branch of a battery module, calculating a charging cut-off voltage value corresponding to I<n> in the n charging stage based on the maximum internal resistance value of the battery module; when the structure of the battery pack is a series branch of a cell, calculating a charging cut-off voltage value corresponding to I<n> in the n charging stage based on the maximum internal resistance value of the cell; and in the (n-1) charging stage, charging the battery pack by I<n-1>, when the charging voltage of the battery pack reaches V<n-1> and when (n-1) is smaller than the set total number of charging stages, entering the n charging stage, and when the charging voltage of the battery pack reaches V<n-1> and when (n-1) is equal to the set total number of charging stages, stopping charging. By virtue of the battery pack charging method provided by the embodiments, battery pack charging safety can improved, and the service life of the power battery can be prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery pack charging method, device and equipment. Background technique [0002] As we all know, power batteries are the heart of new energy vehicles, and the life and safety performance of power batteries play a vital role in new energy vehicles. [0003] The power battery pack can be formed by combining multiple battery modules in series and parallel, or by combining multiple battery cells in series and parallel, and the resistance between different battery cells or different battery modules has certain differences. However, the existing charging piles charge all the modules or cells in the battery pack to the same charging cut-off voltage, which will inevitably cause overcharging of some battery packs composed of modules or cells connected in series. [0004] Overcharging of batteries will lead to a rapid decline in the service life of the power battery, and at the same ...
