Abstract
A battery management apparatus, including: a sensing unit configured to measure a pack voltage value of a battery pack configured to be charged by receiving a charging current from an engine, output a starting current to turn on the engine, and output an operating current to operate electronic components, and a processor configured to: set a first voltage region by using a first current value (CV) of the charging current and an internal resistance value (IRV) of the battery pack, set a second voltage region by using a second CV of the starting current and the IRV, set a third voltage region by using a third CV of the operating current and the IRV, calculate a voltage change amount of the pack voltage value, compare the first, second, and third voltage regions with the voltage change amount, and determine whether the battery pack is charged or discharged.
