METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARGING BATTERY

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for charging a battery, the method including determining an aging rate coefficient (330) based on an aging parameter related to an aging of the battery and an internal state of the battery determined by an electrochemical model (310) using the same aging parameter as an input, predicting an aging rate of the battery (340) based on the aging rate coefficient, and determining whether to change a charging limit condition (360) to charge the battery based on a comparison between the predicted aging rate and a target aging rate (350).
