[0032] Determine the heat generation ratio according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result.

[0033] The method provided in this embodiment determines the heat generation ratio by determining the first summation result of the preset value and the preset current change rate, and determining the second summation result of the preset value and the internal resistance change rate, and according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result.

[0034] In one of the embodiments, determining the heat generation ratio according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result includes:

[0037] In one of the embodiments, determining the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period according to the charging duration of the battery with the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period includes:

[0038] When the charging duration is less than the charging duration threshold and the difference between the charging duration and the charging duration threshold is equal to the preset difference, obtain the first voltage of the battery;

According to the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage and the first charging current, the second internal resistance of the battery is determined. Since the second voltage is obtained when the charging duration is equal to the charging duration threshold, and then the second internal resistance is obtained, it is convenient to quickly determine the second charging current based on the second internal resistance after entering the next charging period, so as to quickly charge the battery according to the second charging current in the next charging period and improve the charging efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, charging the battery according to the second charging current includes:

[0043] When the state of charge of the battery is less than the preset state of charge and the battery temperature of the battery is less than the preset temperature, the battery is charged according to the second charging current.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the current charging period is the first charging period, when the battery's shelf duration is greater than the preset duration, according to the charging duration of charging the battery with the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period, determining the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the current charging period includes:

[0046] When the battery's shelf duration is greater than the preset duration, if the battery temperature is less than the preset temperature, then according to the charging duration of charging the battery with the initial charging current in the first charging period and the initial internal resistance of the battery in the first charging period, determine the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the first charging period;

[0047] Wherein, the initial charging current is determined according to the charging performance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge when the battery enters the first charging period, and the charging performance test data is used to characterize the corresponding relationship between the battery temperature, the state of charge and the charging current; the initial internal resistance is determined according to the internal resistance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge.

[0048] For the method provided in this embodiment, when the current charging period is the first charging period, if the battery temperature of the battery is less than the preset temperature, then according to the charging duration of the battery with the initial charging current in the first charging period and the initial internal resistance of the battery in the first charging period, the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the first charging period is determined. Thus, it is possible to determine the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the first charging period, providing a relatively reliable basis for determining the second charging current in the next charging period and facilitating a more accurate determination of the second charging current.

[0049] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a battery charging device. The device includes:

The phrase appears in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0074] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the embodiments of the present application.

[0077] With the rapid development of new energy technologies, the number of electric vehicles and electric ships using batteries is gradually increasing, and users have higher requirements for the service life and charging efficiency of batteries. The service life and charging efficiency of batteries are affected by the battery charging method.

[0078] The current battery charging method is as follows: Obtain the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge (SOC) before battery charging. Based on the pre-acquired charging performance test data, the initial battery temperature, and the initial SOC, determine the initial charging current at the initial battery temperature and the initial SOC, and start charging the battery with the initial charging current. As the charging time progresses, the battery temperature rises and the SOC of the battery also increases. It is possible to obtain the battery temperature and the SOC during the battery charging process. Based on the charging performance test data, the battery temperature, and the SOC during the battery charging process, obtain the charging current at the battery temperature and the SOC, and charge the battery based on the charging current. That is, the charging current during the entire charging process is determined based on the charging performance test data, the battery temperature, and the SOC. Among them, the charging performance test data includes the corresponding relationship between the battery temperature, the state of charge, and the charging current.

[0079] However, during the battery storage process, due to side reactions, the impedance of the negative electrode increases, resulting in a decrease in the battery charging current. As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the charging current and the SOC before and after battery storage provided by the embodiments of the present application. For example, Figure 1 the curve in is the relationship between the charging current and the SOC of the battery at -20°C. Curve 11 is the curve before the battery is stored, and curve 14 is the curve after the battery is stored for 40 days; curve 12 is the curve before another battery is stored, and curve 13 is the curve after the battery is stored for 40 days. Based on Figure 1 the curves shown, it can be seen that the charging current corresponding to the SOC in the range of 20% to 40% is reduced by about 15% compared to before storage; as Figure 2 shown, Figure 2It is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the charging current and the SOC of another battery before and after storage provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 It is the relationship between the charging current and the SOC of the battery at 25°C. Curve 15 is the curve of the battery before storage, and curve 16 is the curve of the battery after 40 days of storage. The other curves in this figure are the curves of other battery tests. Based on curve 15 and curve 16, it can be seen that when the SOC is in the range of 20% - 80%, the corresponding charging current decreases by about 6% compared with that before storage.

[0080] Based on the above Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the charging current of the battery is affected by the storage duration. If the battery is charged after a long storage duration, at the same SOC, the charging current of the battery is less than that before storage, that is, the charging current that the battery can accept after a long storage time will be lower than that before storage. Currently, the battery charging method does not consider the storage duration of the battery. For a battery with a long storage time, it still charges based on the charging current obtained from the charging performance test table, that is, it still uses a relatively large charging current for charging. Although it can take into account the charging efficiency, if the ability of the battery to accept the charging current decreases and it still uses the charging current before the ability decreases to charge the battery, it will cause lithium plating of the battery and affect the service life of the battery.

[0081] Therefore, how to charge the battery to balance the service life and charging efficiency of the battery has become an urgent technical problem in this field.

[0082] To solve the above technical problem, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery charging method, as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 It is a schematic flowchart of a battery charging method provided by the embodiments of the present application. This method can be applied to a battery management system. The method includes the following steps:

[0083] S201, when the storage duration of the battery is greater than the preset duration, determine the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the current charging period according to the charging duration of the battery with the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period.

[0084] Among them, the storage duration refers to the duration that the battery is placed in a certain position without being used. The battery can be a battery installed in a vehicle or a ship, or a battery stored separately in a certain position.

[0085] When starting to charge the battery, the initial charging current of the battery can be determined based on the charging performance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge when the battery is charged, and the initial internal resistance of the battery can be determined based on the internal resistance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge of the battery.

[0086] It should be noted that when starting to charge the battery, it can first be determined whether the storage duration of the battery is greater than a preset duration. In the case where the storage duration is greater than the preset duration, the battery is charged with the initial charging current. For the convenience of subsequent introduction, the period of charging the battery with the initial charging current is hereinafter referred to as the initial charging period. The current charging period in this step can be the initial charging period, or any charging period except the last charging period after the initial charging period.

[0087] In the case where the current charging period can be the initial charging period, the first internal resistance is the initial internal resistance. In the case where the current charging period is a charging period after the initial charging period, the first internal resistance is the internal resistance of the battery in this charging period. Among them, the initial charging period is the first charging period.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, the first voltage of the battery can be obtained when the charging duration is less than the charging duration threshold and the difference between the charging duration and the charging duration threshold is equal to a preset difference; the second voltage of the battery can be obtained when the charging duration is equal to the charging duration threshold; the second internal resistance of the battery is determined according to the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage and the first charging current. The charging duration threshold can be set to a value between 30 seconds and 3 minutes.

[0089] Exemplarily, if the charging duration threshold is 1 minute and the preset difference is 10 seconds, in the initial charging stage of charging the battery with the initial charging current, the charging duration of charging the battery with the initial charging current can be obtained, and the first voltage of the battery can be obtained when the charging duration is 50 seconds, that is, the difference from the charging duration threshold is 10 seconds, and the second voltage of the battery can be obtained when the charging duration is equal to 60 seconds. The quotient obtained by dividing the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage by the initial charging current is used as the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period. Or, the result obtained by multiplying this quotient by a preset coefficient is used as the second internal resistance. Among them, the next charging period is the next charging period after the initial charging period. In the case where the charging duration threshold is 1 minute, the next charging period refers to the charging period between 1 minute and 2 minutes.

[0090] In another possible implementation, an internal resistance prediction model can be used to determine the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period based on the charging duration of charging the battery with the first charging current and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period. The internal resistance prediction model can be a model obtained by training an initial internal resistance prediction model based on a training set. The training set can include the charging duration samples and internal resistance samples in the charging period of charging the battery sample with the first charging current sample, and the actual internal resistance of the battery sample in the next charging period of this charging period.

[0091] S202. Determine the second charging current in the next charging period according to the first internal resistance, the second internal resistance, and the heat control condition of the battery; the heat control condition includes that the first heat generation of the battery when using the first charging current within the same duration is less than or equal to the second heat generation of the battery when using the second charging current.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the internal resistance change rate can be determined according to the first internal resistance and the second internal resistance; the heat generation ratio can be determined according to the internal resistance change rate and the preset current change rate; the target current change rate can be determined based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition; the second charging current can be determined according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. Among them, the heat generation ratio is used to represent the ratio of the heat generation of the battery obtained based on the preset current change rate to the first heat generation.

[0093] The intermediate heat generation and the first heat generation can be calculated according to Joule's law Q = Q represents heat, I represents current, R represents internal resistance, and t represents charging duration. Since the intermediate heat generation = , where represents the intermediate charging current obtained based on the preset current change rate and the first charging current, represents the second internal resistance. The first heat generation = , represents the first charging current, represents the first internal resistance. Since , , represents the internal resistance change rate, so the heat generation ratio of the heat generation of the battery obtained based on the preset current change rate to the first heat generation = . Among them, is the preset current change rate, and the preset current change rate can be set to 0 or other values very close to 0.

[0094] After that, a target current change rate is determined based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition; a second charging current is determined according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. If the heat generation ratio is not less than a preset ratio, it means that the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, and the preset current change rate can be used as the target current change rate. Then, the second charging current is determined according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. If the heat generation ratio is less than the preset ratio, it means that the heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, and the value needs to be adjusted to obtain a new current change rate until the heat generation ratio determined by the new current change rate meets the heat control condition. The current change rate corresponding to the heat generation ratio that meets the heat control condition is used as the target current change rate, and then the second charging current is determined according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. Among them, the preset ratio is greater than or equal to 1. It should be noted that when the preset ratio is 1, if it is greater than 0, the determined target current change rate can be equal to 0 or less than 0. If if it is less than or equal to 0, the determined target current change rate is greater than 0.

[0095] In another possible implementation, an internal resistance ratio of the second internal resistance to the first internal resistance can be determined; a heat generation ratio is determined based on the preset current change rate, the first charging current, and the internal resistance ratio, and a target current change rate is determined based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition; a second charging current is determined according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. Among them, the intermediate charging current is obtained based on the preset current change rate and the first charging current.

[0096] Among them, according to Joule's law Q = the intermediate heat generation and the first heat generation can be calculated. Q represents heat, I represents current, R represents internal resistance, and t represents the charging duration. For example, the intermediate heat generation = , where represents the intermediate charging current, represents the second internal resistance. The first heat generation = , represents the first charging current, represents the first internal resistance. Since , is the preset current change rate. Therefore, the heat generation ratio of the intermediate heat generation to the first heat generation = .

[0097] S203. When the battery enters the next charging period, the battery is charged according to the second charging current.

[0098] When the battery enters the next charging period, it can be determined whether the state of charge of the battery is less than a preset state of charge. If the state of charge of the battery is less than the preset state of charge, the battery can be charged at a second charging current.

[0099] Alternatively, when the battery enters the next charging period, if the state of charge of the battery is less than the preset state of charge and the battery temperature is less than the preset temperature, the battery can be charged at a second charging current. If the state of charge of the battery is less than the preset state of charge, but the battery temperature is not less than the preset temperature, the charging current can be obtained based on the charging performance test data, that is, the battery can be charged using the conventional charging method, which can reduce the frequency of adjusting the charging current.

[0100] The method provided in this embodiment, when the shelf time of the battery is greater than the preset time, determines the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the current charging period according to the charging duration of the battery using the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period. According to the first internal resistance, the second internal resistance and the heat control condition of the battery, the second charging current in the next charging period is determined. When the battery enters the next charging period, the battery is charged at the second charging current. Since the second charging current determined based on the heat control condition can ensure that the heat generation of the battery using the second charging current in the next charging period is not lower than the heat generation in the current charging period, the temperature rise rate of the battery can be taken into account, thereby achieving both the charging efficiency and the service life of the battery.

[0101] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining a second charging current provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation manner of determining the second charging current according to the first internal resistance, the second internal resistance and the heat control condition of the battery. On the basis of the above embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0102] S301, determine the internal resistance change rate according to the first internal resistance and the second internal resistance.

[0103] The internal resistance difference between the second internal resistance and the first internal resistance can be determined, and the result obtained by dividing the internal resistance difference by the first internal resistance is used as the internal resistance change rate.

[0104] S302, determine the heat generation ratio according to the internal resistance change rate and the preset current change rate; the heat generation ratio is used to characterize the ratio of the heat generation of the battery obtained based on the preset current change rate to the first heat generation.

[0105] The heat generation ratio can be calculated according to Joule's law Q = The heat generation ratio can be equal to , where is a preset current change rate, and the preset current change rate can be set to 0 or other values very close to 0. Or, multiply the result obtained by a preset coefficient to get the heat generation ratio.

[0106] S303. Determine the target current change rate based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition;

[0107] If the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, use the preset current change rate as the target current change rate;

[0108] If the heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, adjust the preset current change rate to obtain the target current change rate; the target current change rate is the current change rate for which the heat generation ratio obtained based on the target current change rate meets the heat control condition.

[0109] Among them, if the heat generation ratio is greater than or equal to the preset ratio, it can be determined that the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition.

[0110] S304. Determine the second charging current according to the target current change rate and the first charging current.

[0111] Determine the second charging current according to the target current change rate and the first charging current, which can be achieved by the following method:

[0112] Determine the product of the first charging current and the target current change rate, and use the sum of the product and the first charging current as the second charging current.

[0113] The method provided in this embodiment determines the internal resistance change rate according to the first internal resistance and the second internal resistance, determines the heat generation ratio according to the internal resistance change rate and the preset current change rate, determines the target current change rate based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition, and determines the second charging current according to the target current change rate and the first charging current. By determining the heat generation ratio based on the internal resistance change rate, it is possible to obtain the heat generation ratio without calculating the specific values of the heat generation of the battery and the first heat generation based on the preset current change rate, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining the heat generation ratio and further improving the efficiency of obtaining the second charging current.

[0114] In one embodiment, the above S303, determining the target current change rate based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition, can be achieved by the following method:

[0115] If the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, use the preset current change rate as the target current change rate;

[0116] If the heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, adjust the preset current change rate to obtain a target current change rate; the target current change rate is the current change rate at which the heat generation ratio obtained based on the target current change rate meets the heat control condition.

[0117] For the method provided in this embodiment, if the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, the preset current change rate can be directly used as the target current change rate. If the heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, the preset current change rate is adjusted to obtain a target current change rate that meets the heat control condition, laying a foundation for determining the second charging current based on the target current change rate.

[0118] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 FIG. is a flowchart of a method for obtaining a target current change rate provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation manner of how to adjust the preset current change rate to obtain a target current change rate. Based on the above embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0119] S401, adjust the preset current change rate according to a preset adjustment amplitude.

[0120] The preset adjustment amplitude is, for example, 0.5%. The sum of and 0.5% can be used as the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment. If is equal to 0, the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment is 0.5%.

[0121] S402, determine a new heat generation ratio according to the internal resistance change rate and the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment.

[0122] Among them, combined with the above example, the new heat generation ratio can be equal to .

[0123] S403, if the new heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, return to execute the step of adjusting the new current change rate according to the preset adjustment amplitude until the new heat generation ratio obtained after the most recent adjustment meets the heat control condition, and use the new current change rate obtained after the most recent adjustment as the target current change rate.

[0124] If does not meet the heat control condition, continue to adjust according to the preset adjustment amplitude. The new current change rate obtained after this adjustment is 1%. The new heat generation ratio obtained after this adjustment can be obtained. Then the new heat generation ratio obtained after this adjustment can be equal to . If meets the heat control condition, use 1% as the target current change rate.

[0125] The method provided in this embodiment adjusts the preset current change rate according to a preset adjustment range, determines a new heat generation ratio based on the internal resistance change rate and the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment. If the new heat generation ratio does not meet the heat control condition, return to execute the step of adjusting the new current change rate according to the preset adjustment range until the new heat generation ratio obtained after the last adjustment meets the heat control condition, and use the new current change rate obtained after the last adjustment as the target current change rate, thereby realizing the determination of the target current change rate, laying a foundation for determining the second charging current based on the target current change rate.

[0126] In one embodiment, the target current change rate can also be obtained in the following manner:

[0127] If the new heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, use the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment as the target current change rate.

[0128] Combined with the above example, if meets the heat control condition, then use as the target current change rate.

[0129] The method provided in this embodiment realizes the determination of the target current change rate by using the new current change rate obtained after the current adjustment as the target current change rate if the new heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition, laying a foundation for determining the second charging current based on the target current change rate.

[0130] In one embodiment, the following steps may also be included:

[0131] If the heat generation ratio is greater than or equal to the preset ratio, it is determined that the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition.

[0132] Exemplarily, if the preset ratio is 1, when the heat generation ratio is greater than or equal to 1, it can be determined that the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition.

[0133] The method provided in this embodiment can make the target current change rate determined based on the heat generation ratio and the heat control condition meet the heat control condition by determining that the heat generation ratio meets the heat control condition if the heat generation ratio is greater than or equal to the preset ratio. Furthermore, the determined second charging current meets the heat control condition, that is, the heat generation during the second charging stage of charging the battery with the second charging current is not lower than the heat generation during the first charging stage.

[0134] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, Figure 6It is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the heat generation ratio provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation manner of determining the heat generation ratio of the intermediate heat generation to the first heat generation when charging the battery with an intermediate charging current according to the internal resistance change rate. On the basis of the above embodiment, the above S302 includes the following steps:

[0135] S501, determine the first summation result of the preset value and the preset current change rate, and determine the second summation result of the preset value and the internal resistance change rate.

[0136] S502, determine the heat generation ratio according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result.

[0137] The preset value is, for example, 1, and the heat generation ratio can be determined according to the product. This product can be used as the heat generation ratio, or the result obtained by multiplying this product by a preset coefficient can be used as the heat generation ratio.

[0138] The method provided in this embodiment determines the heat generation ratio by determining the first summation result of the preset value and the preset current change rate, and determining the second summation result of the preset value and the internal resistance change rate, and according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result. Since the heat generation ratio can be determined without specifically calculating the values of the intermediate heat generation and the first heat generation, the determination efficiency of the heat generation ratio is improved.

[0139] In one embodiment, for the above S502, determining the heat generation ratio according to the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result can be implemented in the following manner:

[0140] Take the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result as the heat generation ratio.

[0141] The method provided in this embodiment takes the product of the square of the first summation result and the second summation result as the heat generation ratio. Since the heat generation ratio can be determined without specifically calculating the values of the intermediate heat generation and the first heat generation, the determination efficiency of the heat generation ratio is improved.

[0142] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the second internal resistance provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation manner of determining the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the current charging period according to the charging duration of the battery with the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period. On the basis of the above embodiment, the above S202 includes the following steps:

[0143] S601, when the charging duration is less than the charging duration threshold and the difference between the charging duration and the charging duration threshold is equal to the preset difference, obtain the first voltage of the battery.

[0144] S602, when the charging duration is equal to the charging duration threshold, obtain the second voltage of the battery.

[0145] S603, determine the second internal resistance of the battery according to the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage and the first charging current.

[0146] Exemplarily, if the charging duration threshold is 1 minute and the preset difference is 10 seconds, in the initial charging stage of charging the battery with the initial charging current, the charging duration of charging the battery with the initial charging current can be obtained, and the first voltage of the battery can be obtained when the charging duration is 50 seconds, that is, the difference from the charging duration threshold is 10 seconds. The second voltage of the battery is obtained when the charging duration is equal to 60 seconds. The quotient obtained by dividing the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage by the initial charging current is used as the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period. Alternatively, the result obtained by multiplying the quotient by the preset coefficient is used as the second internal resistance. Herein, the next charging period is the next charging period of the initial charging period. When the charging duration threshold is 1 minute, the next charging period refers to the charging period between 60 seconds and 120 seconds. For the convenience of subsequent introduction, the charging period between 60 seconds and 120 seconds is denoted as charging period A. Then, the second charging current of charging period A can be determined according to the initial internal resistance, the second internal resistance in charging period A, and the heat control condition. If the second charging current in charging period A is denoted as charging current A.

[0147] As the battery charging time progresses, when the battery enters charging period A, charging period A is the current charging period, and charging current A is used as the first charging current. The second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of charging period A can be determined according to the charging duration of charging the battery with charging current A in charging period A and the first internal resistance of the battery in charging period A. Herein, if the next charging period of charging period A is denoted as charging period B, then charging period B is the charging period between 120 seconds and 180 seconds.

[0148] Then, the second charging current of charging period B can be determined according to the first internal resistance of charging period A, the second internal resistance in charging period B, and the heat control condition.

[0149] When the battery enters charging period B, charging period B is the current charging period, and the second charging current of charging period B is used as the first charging current of the current charging period. Similar to the method of determining the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of charging period A when the battery enters charging period A, the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of charging period B can be determined.

[0150] The method provided in this embodiment obtains a first voltage of the battery when the charging time is less than a charging time threshold and the difference between the charging time and the charging time threshold is equal to a preset difference, obtains a second voltage of the battery when the charging time is equal to the charging time threshold, and determines a second internal resistance of the battery according to the voltage difference between the second voltage and the first voltage and the first charging current. Since the second voltage is obtained when the charging time is equal to the charging time threshold, and then the second internal resistance is obtained, it is convenient to quickly determine the second charging current based on the second internal resistance after entering the next charging period, so that the battery can be quickly charged according to the second charging current in the next charging period, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

[0151] In one embodiment, the step of “charging the battery according to the second charging current” in S203 may include the following steps:

[0152] When the state of charge of the battery is less than a preset state of charge and the battery temperature of the battery is less than a preset temperature, the battery is charged according to the second charging current.

[0153] The method provided in this embodiment can improve the service life of the battery when the battery temperature is low by charging the battery according to the second charging current when the battery state of charge is less than a preset state of charge and the battery temperature is less than a preset temperature.

[0154] In one embodiment, if the current charging period is the first charging period, the above S201, when the shelf time of the battery is greater than the preset time, determines the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period of the current charging period according to the charging time of the battery using the first charging current in the current charging period and the first internal resistance of the battery in the current charging period, which can be achieved by the following method:

[0155] In the case where the shelf time of the battery is greater than the preset time, if the battery temperature of the battery is less than the preset temperature, a second internal resistance of the battery in a charging period next to the first charging period is determined according to the charging time of the battery using the initial charging current in the first charging period and the initial internal resistance of the battery in the first charging period;

[0156] Among them, the initial charging current is determined according to the charging performance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature when the battery enters the first charging period, and the initial state of charge. The charging performance test data is used to characterize the corresponding relationship among the battery temperature, the state of charge, and the charging current; the initial internal resistance is determined according to the internal resistance test data of the sample battery, the initial battery temperature, and the initial state of charge.

[0157] The charging performance test data is shown in Table 1 below, for example. The first row in Table 1 represents the proportion of SOC. For example, 5% SOC means that the remaining power of the battery is only 5% of its total capacity. The first column represents the battery temperature in °C. Exemplarily, when the initial state of charge is in the range of 0 to 5% and the battery temperature is -20°C, the charging current A1 can be used as the initial charging current. Another exemplarily, when the initial state of charge is in the range of 5% to 10% and the battery temperature is -15°C, the charging current B1 or the charging current B2 can be used as the initial charging current.

[0158] Table 1

[0159]

[0160] The internal resistance test data is shown in Table 2 below, for example. The first row in Table 2 represents the proportion of SOC, and the first column represents the battery temperature in °C. Similar to the determination of the initial charging current above, the initial internal resistance can be determined based on the internal resistance test data.

[0161] Table 2

[0162]

[0163] Since when the storage duration of the battery is greater than the preset duration, it may cause the battery temperature to be relatively low. Based on Figure 1 the analysis shown, when the battery is stored at a low temperature such as -20°C for the same duration as when it is stored at 25°C, the attenuation of the charging current of the battery at low temperature (15%) is greater than the attenuation of the charging current of the battery at 25°C (6%). Therefore, when the method of this embodiment is used at low temperature, compared with using the method provided in this embodiment at other temperatures, the service life of the battery can be better improved.

[0164] For the method provided in this embodiment, when the current charging period is the first charging period, if the battery temperature of the battery is less than the preset temperature, then according to the charging duration of the battery using the initial charging current in the first charging period and the initial internal resistance of the battery in the first charging period, the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period after the first charging period is determined, so that the second internal resistance of the battery in the next charging period after the first charging period can be realized, providing a relatively reliable basis for determining the second charging current in the subsequent next charging period and facilitating a more accurate determination of the second charging current.

[0165] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the overall process of a battery charging method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0166] S701, based on the charging performance test data, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge when the battery is charged, determine the initial charging current of the battery, and based on the internal resistance test data, the initial battery temperature and the initial state of charge, determine the initial internal resistance of the battery.

[0167] S702, determine whether the shelf duration is greater than a preset duration.

[0168] If the shelf duration is greater than the preset duration, then execute S703; if the shelf duration is not greater than the preset duration, then execute S704.

[0169] S703, determine whether the battery temperature of the battery is less than a preset temperature.

[0170] If the battery temperature is less than the preset temperature, then execute S705; if the battery temperature is not less than the preset temperature, then execute S704.

[0171] S704, charge the battery using the current charging method.

[0172] Charge using the conventional charging method until the SOC is greater than or equal to the preset SOC. The current charging method can be a method of charging the battery with the charging current obtained based on the charging performance test data.

[0173] S705, charge the battery with the initial charging current.

[0174] S706, based on the charging duration of charging the battery with the first charging current and the first internal resistance of the battery at the current charging period when charging the battery with the first charging current, determine the second internal resistance of the battery at the next charging period.

[0175] S707, determine the internal resistance change rate according to the first internal resistance and the second internal resistance.

[0176] The first internal resistance in this step is the initial internal resistance.

[0177] S708, obtain the preset current change rate.

[0178] The preset current change rate is, for example, 0.

[0179] S709, according to the internal resistance change rate, determine whether the heat generation ratio of the intermediate heat generation to the first heat generation when charging the battery with the intermediate charging current is greater than the preset ratio.

[0180] If the heat generation ratio is less than the preset ratio, then execute S710. If the heat generation ratio is not less than the preset ratio, then execute S711.

[0181] S710, adjust the preset current change rate to obtain the target current change rate.

[0182] S711, determine the second charging current according to the target current change rate and the first charging current.

[0183] S712, use the second charging current as the charging current for the next charging period.

[0184] S713, determine whether the SOC of the battery is greater than or equal to the preset SOC.

[0185] If it is greater than or equal to the preset SOC, end the charging process; if the SOC of the battery is less than the preset SOC, return to execute S703.

[0186] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 is a simulation schematic diagram of the relationship between the battery temperature and the SOC during the battery charging process provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 10 is a comparison schematic diagram of the current change rate in a traditional charging method provided by the embodiment of the present application and the current change rate provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 9 the abscissa represents the SOC, and the ordinate represents the battery temperature, with the unit of degree Celsius; Figure 10 the abscissa is the battery temperature, and the ordinate is the current change rate of the charging current. From Figure 9 it can be seen that when the battery temperature is less than 0 degree Celsius, the current change rate in the embodiment of the present application is less than the current change rate in the traditional charging method, and the change rate of the battery temperature is greater than the change rate of the SOC. Therefore, the influence of the battery temperature on the charging current is greater, and by Figure 10 the relationship between the battery temperature and the current change rate of the charging current is shown. Figure 10 the curve 91 in represents the corresponding relationship between the current change rate in the traditional charging method and the battery temperature, and the curve 92 represents the corresponding relationship between the target current change rate in the charging method in the embodiment of the present application and the battery temperature. Exemplarily, the preset temperature is 0 degree Celsius. From Figure 10 it can be seen that when the temperature is less than 0 degree Celsius, at the same temperature, the charging current in the embodiment of the present application is less than the charging current in the traditional charging method, and the heat generation of the battery using the second charging current in the next charging period is not less than the heat generation in the current charging period. Therefore, the temperature rise rate of the battery can be taken into account, thereby achieving both the charging efficiency and the service life of the battery. Among them, Figure 10 the current change rate in is according to the heat generation ratio = 1, and the internal resistance change rate calculated according to the embodiments of the present application The determined result.
