Method of charging lithium metal battery

Abstract

A method of charging a lithium metal battery includes charging the lithium metal battery so that a constant voltage period and a first constant current period are separated from each other in time where, the lithium metal battery is charged so that a second constant current period occurs between the first constant current period and the constant voltage period, and a current value of the second constant current period is less than a current value of the first constant current period.
