Abstract

A method for charging a traction battery applied to a battery management system (BMS) for the traction battery, includes obtaining a temperature and a battery parameter of the traction battery, determining a parameter threshold based on the temperature of the traction battery, and during a charging process of the traction battery, controlling the traction battery to discharge or stop being charged in response to the battery parameter of the traction battery being greater than or equal to the parameter threshold and the battery parameter of the traction battery changing by a parameter gap value. The battery parameter includes at least one of a state of charge (SOC) or an open-circuit voltage (OCV).
