Abstract

A method for determining a remaining charging time of a battery. The method includes obtaining a first charging current and a second charging current. The first charging current is a present charging current of the battery, and the second charging current is a charging current of the battery when the battery is fully charged. The method further includes determining an average charging current value based on the first charging current and the second charging current, and determining the remaining charging time based on the average charging current value.

Claims (21)

1. A method for determining a remaining charging time of a battery, comprising:

obtaining a first charging current, wherein the first charging current is a present charging current of the battery;

determining a second charging current, wherein the second charging current is a charging current of the battery when the battery is fully charged, and determining the second charging current comprises:

determining the second charging current during a present charging based on a full-charge voltage and a charging power of a charging apparatus during the present charging, wherein the full-charge voltage is an actual value of an end-of-charge voltage of the battery during a previous charging;

determining an average charging current value based on the first charging current and the second charging current; and

determining the remaining charging time based on the average charging current value.

2. A system for determining a remaining charging time of a battery, comprising a processing module configured to:

obtain a first charging current, wherein the first charging current is a present charging current of the battery;

determine a second charging current, wherein the second charging current is a charging current of the battery when the battery is fully charged, and determining the second charging current comprises:

determining the second charging current during a present charging based on a full-charge voltage and a charging power of a charging apparatus during the present charging, wherein the full-charge voltage is an actual value of an end-of-charge voltage of the battery during a previous charging;

determine an average charging current value based on the first charging current and the second charging current; and

determine the remaining charging time based on the average charging current value.

3. The system according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage module configured to store the full-charge voltage.

4. A battery management system, comprising:

a memory storing a computer program; and

a processor configured to invoke the computer program to:

obtain a first charging current, wherein the first charging current is a present charging current of the battery;

determine a second charging current, wherein the second charging current is a charging current of the battery when the battery is fully charged, and determining the second charging current comprises:

determining the second charging current during a present charging based on a full-charge voltage and a charging power of a charging apparatus during the present charging, wherein the full-charge voltage is an actual value of an end-of-charge voltage of the battery during a previous charging;

determine an average charging current value based on the first charging current and the second charging current; and

determine the remaining charging time based on the average charging current value.
