METHOD AND DEVICE WITH BATTERY SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION

Provided are a method and device with battery short circuit detection. A method of detecting a short circuit in a battery includes: triggering a rest phase of the battery, determining a first time constant related to a rest voltage of the battery when the battery may be in the rest phase, estimating a first short-resistance value by comparing the first time constant with a second time constant related to a voltage of the battery, and making a short circuit determination for the battery based on a result of comparing the first short-resistance value and a second short-resistance value, wherein the first time constant and the second time constant may be determined with reference to either a temperature range or a charging range of the electronic device.
