Abstract

A lithium precipitation detection method may include: sending, when a battery management module in the battery pack determines that a change in a charging voltage of the battery pack meets a predetermined condition, a charging request containing a first current to a charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the first current for a first predetermined duration and a second predetermined duration, where the first predetermined duration is equal to the second predetermined duration; obtaining, by the battery management module, a first voltage change amount within the first predetermined duration and a second voltage change amount within the second predetermined duration; and determining, when the battery management module determines that a difference between the second voltage change amount and the first voltage change amount is greater than a predetermined voltage threshold, that lithium precipitation occurs in the battery pack.

Claims (14)

1. A lithium precipitation detection method for a battery pack, wherein the battery pack comprises a battery management module, and the lithium precipitation detection method comprises:

sending, when the battery management module determines that a change in a charging voltage of the battery pack meets a predetermined condition, a charging request containing a first current to a charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the first current for a first predetermined duration and a second predetermined duration, wherein the first predetermined duration is equal to the second predetermined duration;

obtaining, by the battery management module, a first voltage change amount within the first predetermined duration and a second voltage change amount within the second predetermined duration; and

determining, when the battery management module determines that a difference between the second voltage change amount and the first voltage change amount is greater than a predetermined voltage threshold, that lithium precipitation occurs in the battery pack.

2. The lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending, when the battery management module determines that a change in a charging voltage of the battery pack meets a predetermined condition, a charging request containing a first current to a charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the first current for a first predetermined duration and a second predetermined duration comprises:

when the battery management module determines that a state of charge of the battery pack is within a range of 5%-30% or 50%-60%, sending the charging request containing the first current to the charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the first current for the first predetermined duration and the second predetermined duration.

3. The lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending, when the battery management module determines that a change in a charging voltage of the battery pack meets a predetermined condition, a charging request containing a first current to a charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the first current for a first predetermined duration and a second predetermined duration comprises:

when the battery management module determines that a state of charge of the battery pack meets a predetermined condition, sending a charging request containing a current between 0.1 A and 10 A to the charging pile for charging, and controlling the battery pack to be charged with the current between 0.1 A and 10 A for the first predetermined duration and the second predetermined duration.

4. The lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining, by the battery management module, a first voltage change amount within the first predetermined duration and a second voltage change amount within the second predetermined duration comprises:

obtaining, by the battery management module, the first voltage change amount within the first predetermined duration and the second voltage change amount within the second predetermined duration, wherein a value of the first predetermined duration and the second predetermined duration ranges from 1 minute to 15 minutes.

5. The lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, when the battery management module determines that a difference between the second voltage change amount and the first voltage change amount is greater than a predetermined voltage threshold, that lithium precipitation occurs in the battery pack comprises:

when the battery management module determines that the difference between the second voltage change amount and the first voltage change amount is greater than 5 mV, determining that lithium precipitation occurs in the battery pack.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, wherein when the computer instructions are executed, the lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 is performed.

7. A power consuming apparatus, wherein the power consuming apparatus comprises a battery pack, and the battery pack is configured to perform the lithium precipitation detection method according to claim 1 .
