Abstract

A method for controlling charge of a battery includes: when charging a battery, monitoring a temperature of the battery in real time, and acquiring a corresponding dynamic factor according to the temperature of the battery, wherein the dynamic factor is used for characterizing a dynamically regulating component of a charge current coefficient during the charge process; calculating a maximum allowed charge current according to the dynamic factor and preset static factors; and controlling the charge of the battery according to the maximum allowed charge current. This enables adaptive charge management according to application scenarios, which effectively avoids the situation where the charge current of the battery is too high or too low, improves the environmental adaptability of battery charging, and further extends the service life of the battery and saves costs. Also provided is a method for controlling charge of a battery.
