Patent attributes
A method, an apparatus and a device for charging a battery are provided. The method may include: defining a charging current In for an Nth charging stage of a charging process based on charging capability of the battery, wherein In<In-1; defining a charge cutoff voltage Vn for the Nth charging stage of the charging process, wherein Vn>Vn-1 and Vn is smaller than a theoretical charge cutoff voltage Vmax; in case that the N-1th charging stage is not a last charging stage, charging the battery with In-1 during the N-1th charging stage and proceeding to the Nth charging stage when a voltage across the battery reaches Vn-1; and in case that the N-1 th charging stage is the last charging stage, charging the battery with In-1 during the N-1th charging stage and stopping charging when the voltage across the battery reaches Vn-1.
