DEVICE AND METHOD FOR HEATING A BATTERY

A device and method for heating a battery are provided. The device is provided on a first power-consuming device and includes: a first interface electrically coupled to a neutral point of a motor winding of the first power-consuming device; a second interface electrically coupled to a negative electrode of a battery of the first power-consuming device; and a control module coupled to a control system of the first power-consuming device and a control system of a second power-consuming device to coordinate and control the first power-consuming device and the second power-consuming device. The first interface is engageable with a third interface electrically coupled to a neutral point of a motor winding of the second power-consuming device. The second interface is engageable with a fourth interface electrically coupled to a negative electrode of a battery of the second power-consuming device. The control module is configured to perform a battery heating step.
