Abstract

An electrode assembly short circuit identification method includes: during charging, according to preset sampling time points, sequentially acquiring a voltage of an electrode assembly at each of the sampling time points; judging whether the electrode assembly has a continuous voltage drop according to the voltage acquired at each of the sampling time points; and determining whether the electrode assembly has a short circuit according to a judgment result.
