Discussed is a battery management apparatus that may include a voltage measuring unit configured to measure a voltage of a battery; a communication unit configured to output voltage information for the voltage measured by the voltage measuring unit; a power unit configured to provide an operation power to the communication unit; an environment information measuring unit configured to measure environment information including at least one of ambient temperature and humidity of the power unit; and a control unit configured to receive the measured environment information from the environment information measuring unit, judge whether the power unit is operable based on at least one of the received environment information, a capacity of the power unit, and a consumed current and a communication time consumed for the communication unit to output the voltage information, and control the communication unit according to a judgment result about whether the power unit is operable.

Battery management apparatus and method

A battery management apparatus is discussed, and includes: a measuring unit connected to a battery and configured to operate in a measurement mode during a predetermined measurement time at each preset measurement cycle and measure battery information including at least one of voltage and temperature of the battery while operating in the measurement mode; and a control unit configured to operate in a communication mode during a preset operation time at each preset communication cycle, receive the battery information from the measuring unit while operating in the communication mode, set a next operation time point at which the measuring unit is to operate in the measurement mode based on at least one of the communication cycle and a measurement time, and change an operation time to operate in the communication mode at each subsequent communication cycle based on the measurement time.
