BATTERY MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD

A battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a profile obtaining unit configured to obtain a gas amount profile indicating a correspondence relationship between a gas generation amount of a battery and a change amount of a peak; a profile generating unit configured to generate a differential profile for a battery profile indicating a correspondence relationship between a capacity of the battery and a differential voltage; and a control unit configured to determine a change amount of a target peak in the battery profile received from the profile generating unit and set a usage condition of the battery based on a result determined by comparing the determined change amount of the target peak with a control criterion of the gas amount profile.
