Abstract

To provide a battery management apparatus capable of diagnosing operation of an over-current detection function of a battery, a voltage generation apparatus and a battery management method.SOLUTION: A battery management apparatus includes a voltage generation unit 220 configured to generate a first output value and a second output value which have a difference therebetween corresponding to a magnitude of a voltage applied to a shunt resistor 210 connected to a battery 100, in which the difference between the first output value and the second output value corresponds to the magnitude of the voltage applied to the shunt resistor when charging over-current or discharging over-current flows in the shunt resistor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
