[0002] With the development of new energy, the requirements for energy density of existing batteries are further improved. New energy power batteries are usually secondary batteries, which means that after the battery is discharged, the active material can be activated by charging and the battery can continue to be used.

[0003] It is well known that the performance of batteries will be limited in low temperature environments. At low temperatures, battery charging and discharging becomes difficult, capacity attenuation is large, internal resistance becomes larger, peak power decreases, and cycle life is reduced. To solve this problem and ensure that the battery pack works normally in a low temperature environment, the current method is to use the battery's own electrical energy to heat the battery to achieve battery self-heating.
