Abstract

Provided are apparatus and method of testing electrochemical performance of a battery cell in a nondestructive manner The apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a memory configured to store first profile data, second profile data, a first positive electrode upper limit, a first positive electrode lower limit, a first negative electrode upper limit, and a first negative electrode lower limit that are determined in advance through a preliminary experiment with respect to each of a plurality of reference cells; a sensing unit configured to measure an open-circuit voltage of a test cell according to a variation in a state of charge (SOC) of the test cell; and a controller electrically connected to the memory and the sensing unit. The controller is configured to test performance of the test cell in a nondestructive manner based on data regarding the reference cells and data measured by the sensing unit stored in the memory.
