Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a battery heating circuit, comprising a switch unit 1, a switching control module 100, a damping component R1, and an energy storage circuit, wherein: the energy storage circuit is connected with the battery and comprises a current storage component L1 and a charge storage component C1; the damping component R1, the switch unit 1, the current storage component L1 and the charge storage component C1 are connected in series; the switching control module 100 is connected with the switch unit 1 and is configured to control ON/OFF of the switch unit 1, so as to control the energy flowing between the battery and the energy storage circuit. For example, the heating circuit can improve the charge/discharge performance of the battery, improve safety when the battery is heated, and effectively protect the battery.
