  • Publication number: 20250015625
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for managing an Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)-State Of Charge (SOC) profile of a battery. The apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a storage means to store a plurality of OCV-SOC profiles having an overlapping zone in which the OCV-SOC profiles overlap in a predetermined SOC range; and a control means coupled to the storage means. The control means is configured to calculate a partial capacity of the battery in the SOC range of the overlapping zone during charging or discharging of the battery, determine a reduction ratio of the current partial capacity to the partial capacity of the battery at Beginning Of Life (BOL), select the OCV-SOC profile corresponding to the reduction ratio among the plurality of OCV-SOC profiles, change the current OCV-SOC profile to the selected OCV-SOC profile, and control the charge or discharge of the battery using the changed OCV-SOC profile.
