  • Patent number: 9716397
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an apparatus and method for maintaining a charge amount of a secondary battery. The present disclosure reduces a charge amount or increases a discharge amount when a larger charge amount than a required proper charge amount is charged in the secondary battery. Also, the present disclosure reduces a discharge amount or increases a charge amount when a smaller charge amount than a required proper charge amount is charged in the secondary battery. Through this, a proper charge amount may be maintained.
