Abstract

Provided are a battery charging method and device, and a storage medium that are applicable to a lithium-ion battery with an N/P range of 0.5 to 1.1. The method includes: obtaining, by a power management system, a state of health (SOH) loss of the lithium-ion battery; and determining a charge cut-off voltage of a next charge process based on the SOH loss, an initial charge cut-off voltage of the lithium-ion battery, and a voltage correction factor, where the initial charge cut-off voltage is determined based on the N/P, and the charge cut-off voltage increases with increase of a count of charging. The N/P range is 0.5 to 1.1, thereby reducing the dosage of the negative electrode and reducing cost. In addition, the charge cut-off voltage of the next charge process is increased based on the SOH loss, thereby ensuring that the lithium-ion battery is free from lithium plating.
