BATTERY CONTROL METHOD AND BATTERY SYSTEM ENABLING BATTERY CONTROL METHOD

A battery system includes, a main battery, an inlet connected to an external charger through an outlet, a bidirectional on-board charger (OBC) configured to, in a charging mode, convert an AC power supplied from the external charger through the inlet to a DC power to charge the main battery, and in a discharge mode, convert a high voltage DC power discharged from the main battery to a low voltage DC power to supply the converted power to a load, and a relay configured to control an electrical connection between the bidirectional OBC and the inlet, and an electrical connection between the bidirectional OBC and the load.
