Abstract
A battery charging method includes acquiring a functional relationship of a differential value of an amount of charge or a state of charge (SOC) with respect to a voltage of a battery based on the voltage or the SOC, determining charging steps for charging of the battery by analyzing the functional relationship, and generating a charging profile comprising charging currents for each of the charging steps to charge the battery.
