METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT IN BATTERY

A method and apparatus for detecting an internal short circuit in a battery are provided. The method includes acquiring values of one or more basic parameters of the battery, acquiring values of one or more degradation parameters used in a battery model indicating an internal state of the battery based on the values of the one or more basic parameters, determining whether the internal short circuit occurs in the battery based on a first value of a first degradation parameter and a second value of a second degradation parameter from among the one or more degradation parameters, and performing an operation in response to the internal short circuit occurring in the battery.
