Abstract

The application discloses a charging circuit of a battery and an electric vehicle. The charging circuit comprises a battery, a direct-current charging interface, a switch tube combination circuit and a heating control contactor. The battery comprises a first part of battery cells and a second part of battery cells connected in series through a series connection node. The switch tube combination circuit is connected between the direct-current charging interface and the battery. The heating control contactor is connected between the switch tube combination circuit and the series connection node. When the heating control contactor is turned on and the switch tube combination circuit is configured as a boost circuit, the switch tube combination circuit is used for boosting direct-current power input from the direct-current charging interface to charge the battery, and alternately controls the first part of battery cells to discharge to charge the second part of battery cells or the second part of battery cells to discharge to charge the first part of battery cells. The self-heating of the battery is realized by utilizing the internal resistance heating of the battery.
