Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling charging of a low voltage battery are provided. The method includes determining a consumption pattern of an auxiliary machinery based on a consumed power of the auxiliary machinery and setting a base charged voltage based on the consumption pattern of the auxiliary machinery. Further, a charged voltage is set for the low voltage battery based on the base charged voltage, a driving mode of a vehicle, and a state of charge of a high voltage battery.
