Abstract
The present invention provides a smart battery device and a charging method. The charging method includes: obtaining a battery temperature of a battery unit; determining whether the battery temperature is lower than a first preset temperature; determining whether a current capacity of the battery unit is lower than a preset capacity when the battery temperature is lower than the first preset temperature; and enabling a heating system to increase the battery temperature when the current capacity of the battery unit is lower than the preset capacity.
Claims10
A charging method, comprising:
- charging a battery unit with a charging current;
- obtaining a battery temperature of the battery unit;
- determining whether the battery temperature is lower than a first preset temperature;
- determining whether a current capacity of the battery unit is lower than a preset capacity when the battery temperature is lower than the first preset temperature;
- and
- enabling a heating system to raise the battery temperature when the current capacity of the battery unit is lower than the preset capacity.

A battery device, comprising:
- a battery unit;
- a temperature sensing unit, configured to sense a battery temperature of the battery unit;
- a heating system, configured to heat the battery unit;
- and
- a processing unit, configured to charge the battery unit with a charging current, obtain the battery temperature using the temperature sensing unit, and determine whether the battery temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, wherein the processing unit determines whether a current capacity of the battery unit is lower than a preset capacity when the battery temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and the processing unit enables the heating system to raise the battery temperature when the current capacity of the battery unit is lower than the preset capacity.
