Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for charging a battery pack. The method comprises: detecting voltages of batteries in the battery pack in real time; charging the battery pack with a charging current that is at least based on the detected voltages; and performing, on the batteries in the battery pack, balance charging by a digital discharging signal. A solution according to the present disclosure may reduce the costs and achieve a more flexible and safe charging approach.
