Abstract
A system for estimating a charging time of a vehicle battery includes: a measuring device configured to measure a temperature and a voltage of the battery; an electrical behavior predictor configured to predict, when a charging current according to the measured temperature and voltage of the battery is applied to the battery, at least one of a terminal voltage of the battery after an amount of unit time has changed, a state of charge (SOC), or an amount of heat generated; a thermal behavior predictor configured to predict, when the charging current is applied to the battery, the temperature of the battery after the amount of unit time has changed over time of the battery and coolant using the amount of heat generated predicted by the electrical behavior predictor; and a controller configured to determine an estimated charging time of the vehicle based on at least one of the predicted terminal voltage, the SOC, the amount of heat generated, or the temperature of the battery after the amount of unit time has changed over time of the battery and the coolant.
