A method of balancing rack voltages of a battery pack having a plurality of racks includes (a) a voltage measurement step of measuring voltages of the racks, (b) a sorting step of sorting the racks in ascending powers based on the voltage values of the racks, (c) a comparison step of comparing a difference between a maximum voltage value and a minimum voltage value with a set voltage, (d) a charging/discharging count step of comparing the voltage values of the racks with a reference voltage to increase a charging or discharging count, and (e) a charging/discharging step of charging or discharging the racks according to the charging or discharging count. In a case in which, at step (c), the difference between the maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value is lower than the set voltage, the racks are charged with the maximum voltage value without steps (d) and (c).
