Abstract
In order to reasonably adjust charging current of a storage battery according to temperature, realize quick, safe and reliable charging of the storage battery, and effectively prolong the service life of the storage battery, the present invention provides a charging management method and apparatus for a storage battery. The method comprises the following steps: monitoring discharge capacity of a storage battery, and determining discharge depth of the storage battery according to the discharge capacity and total capacity of the storage battery; comparing the discharge depth of the storage battery with a preset battery equalizing charging threshold; and when the discharge depth of the storage battery is greater than or equal to the preset battery equalizing charging threshold capacity, actuating a temperature-control charging mode to charge the storage battery, wherein the temperature-control charging mode is to adjust charging current according to the temperature of the battery.
