BATTERY MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD

A battery management apparatus and method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to performing appropriate control to increase the lifespan of a battery cell by judging whether degradation of the battery cell is accelerated. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, since both the voltage change pattern and the differential capacity change pattern between the plurality of peaks included in the plurality of differential profiles are considered, there is an advantage that it is possible to accurately judge whether the state of the battery cell is in a degradation accelerated state.
