Abstract

A system for wake-up control of parallel battery packs includes a first battery pack and a second battery pack connected in parallel. The first battery pack includes a first control unit, and the second battery pack includes a second control unit. The first battery pack is configured to receive a first trigger signal to wake up the first control unit. The first control unit of the first battery pack is configured to output a first driving signal after being woken up. The second battery pack is configured to receive a second driving signal sent from the first battery pack, and transmit the processed second driving signal to the second control unit of the second battery pack, to wake up the second control unit of the second battery pack. The second driving signal is output after the first driving signal is processed by the first battery pack.
