Abstract
A battery management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a voltage measurer for measuring a voltage of a battery module and output a measured voltage value; a current measurer for measuring a charging current of the battery module and output a measured current value; and a controller for receiving the measured voltage value and the measured current value, estimating a state of charge (SOC) of the battery module based on the measured voltage value and the measured current value, calculating an accumulated change rate by adding up a change rate of the estimated SOC per unit time, and detecting whether the battery module has a defect by comparing the calculated accumulated change rate with a reference change rate.
