Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a battery pack and a method of controlling the battery pack, and more particularly, to a battery pack receiving a charging current from a power generation module and a method of controlling the battery pack. In the battery pack, when an output voltage of the power generation module is higher than a rated voltage of a main battery and a rated voltage of a sub-battery is higher than the rated voltage of the main battery, an energy loss may be reduced.
