Abstract
A battery charging method includes: acquiring a current static voltage of a battery in a current charging stage, and determining the maximum charging current matching with the current static voltage, during staged charging of the battery; and charging the battery according to the maximum charging current. The charging speed can be guaranteed, and the overvoltage protection cannot be triggered during each charging stage, thereby preventing damages to battery cells.
