CHARGING METHOD AND CHARGING APPARATUS

A charging method and a charging device are provided, which can improve the charging speed of a battery while ensuring the service life of the battery. The charging method is configured to charge the battery. The charging process of the battery includes at least one constant current stage, and the at least one constant current stage includes a first constant current stage. The method includes: determining an open circuit voltage of the battery; and in the first constant current stage, charging the battery with a first current until the open circuit voltage of the battery reaches a first cut-off voltage, the first cut-off voltage being less than or equal to a standard limited charging voltage of the battery.
