CHARGING METHOD AND CHARGING APPARATUS

A charging method and a charging apparatus are provided. The method includes the following. A battery is charged in a constant current stage until a voltage of the battery reaches a first voltage, where the first voltage is a charging cut-off voltage corresponding to the constant current stage. When the voltage of the battery reaches the first voltage, the battery is charged in a constant voltage stage by applying a second voltage to the battery, where the second voltage is lower than the first voltage.
