BATTERY MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD

A battery management apparatus includes: a measuring unit to measure voltage and capacity of a battery cell; a profile generating unit to generate a battery profile representing a correspondence between the voltage and the capacity measured by the measuring unit and generate a positive electrode profile of the battery cell based on the generated battery profile and a reference negative electrode profile and a reference negative electrode differential profile preset for the battery cell; and a control unit configured to receive the generated positive electrode profile from the profile generating unit, derive a conversion function representing conversion information from the reference positive electrode profile to the generated positive electrode profile, generate a positive electrode prediction profile for the battery cell from the reference positive electrode profile based on the derived conversion function, and generate a battery prediction profile for the battery cell based on the generated positive electrode prediction profile.
