Abstract
A battery charging method includes: charging a battery with a charging current; and changing the charging current in response to a current change event occurring during the charging of the battery, wherein the current change event occurs when the battery reaches a threshold voltage at which an anode potential of the battery reaches a reference value.
Claims25
A battery charging method, comprising:
- charging a battery with a charging current;
- and
- changing the charging current in response to a current change event occurring during the charging of the battery,
- wherein the current change event occurs when the battery reaches a threshold voltage at which an anode potential of the battery reaches a reference value.

A battery charging apparatus, comprising:
- a controller configured to charge a battery with a charging current, and configured to change the charging current in response to a current change event occurring during the charging of the battery,
- wherein the current change event occurs when the battery reaches a threshold voltage at which an anode potential of the battery reaches a reference value.
A battery charging method, comprising:
- charging a battery with a first charging current;
- and
- charging the battery with a second charging current that is less than the first charging current, in response to the battery reaching a threshold voltage at which an anode potential of the battery reaches a reference value.
A battery system, comprising:
- a battery;
- and
- a controller configured to
- charge the battery, in a first charging mode, with an initial charging current among charging currents stored in a memory, and
- in the first charging mode, change the initial charging current to a subsequent charging current, among the charging currents, in response to a voltage of the battery reaching a threshold voltage stored in the memory as corresponding to the initial charging current, wherein the threshold voltage comprises a voltage at which an anode potential of the battery reaches a reference value.
