Abstract

A method for estimating a life status of a lithium battery applicable to a portable electronic device is described. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, a plurality of lithium battery life status intervals are sectioned out by a plurality of voltage-electric quantity curves representing characteristics of the lithium battery. Then, an actual voltage and an actual electric quantity of the lithium battery of the portable electronic device are measured. Afterwards, positions of the actual voltage and the actual electric quantity in the lithium battery life status intervals are determined to estimate the life status of the lithium battery.
