Abstract
A method for controlling a secondary battery constant current charging method and a control apparatus therefor, which measures battery voltage (V), a change in battery voltage per unit time (.DELTA.V/.DELTA.t), a decrease in battery voltage (-.DELTA.V) from a maximum value, battery temperature (T), and/or a change in battery temperature per unit time (.DELTA.T/.DELTA.t); and stops the battery charging when .DELTA.V/.DELTA.t is greater than or equal to a predetermined value after the passage of a predetermined time t.sub.S, or when .DELTA.V/.DELTA.t and .DELTA.T/.DELTA.t are greater than or equal to predetermined values, or when .DELTA.V/.DELTA.t and T are greater than or equal to predetermined values, or when V is greater than or equal to a maximum value V.sub.P, or when either the -.DELTA.V or T is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
