Abstract

A battery charging method and apparatus are provided. The battery charging apparatus receives a desired charging time of a battery, generates charging currents of charging steps to charge the battery based on the desired charging time, acquires a charging limit condition including an internal state condition and a maximum charging time for each of the charging steps based on the desired charging time and an electrochemical model of the battery, and generates a charging profile including the charging currents and charging times of the charging currents based on the charging limit condition.
