BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BATTERY MANAGEMENT METHOD, BATTERY PACK AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A battery management system according to the present disclosure includes a voltage sensor to generate a voltage signal indicating a voltage of a battery, a current sensor to generate a current signal indicating a current flowing through the battery, and a control unit to record a voltage history and a current history of the battery based on the voltage signal and the current signal at a predetermined time interval during constant current charging of the battery. The control unit determines a differential capacity curve indicating a correlation between the voltage of the battery and a differential capacity in a reference voltage range. The control unit performs a first protection operation for the battery by comparing a first characteristic voltage of a main feature point with a reference voltage when the main feature point is detected from the differential capacity curve.
