BATTERY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY SYSTEM

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery system and a controlling method of the same. The battery system includes a plurality of rechargeable battery packs, and includes a first battery pack that is rechargeable, a second battery pack that is rechargeable independently of the first battery pack, a first switching element that switches the first battery pack between at least a charging node and a discharging node, a second switching element that switches the second battery pack between at least the charging node and the discharging node, and a controller that controls switching states of the first switching element and the second switching element based on usage states and states of charge of the first battery pack and the second battery pack, and thus it is possible to effectively charge a high capacity and high output battery pack.
