Abstract
Under one aspect, a circuit for heating a battery includes the battery including a parasitic damping component and a parasitic current storage component, a switch unit, a switching control component coupled to the switch unit, and a charge storage component. The charge storage and current storage components are at least parts of an energy storage circuit. The damping component, the current storage component, the switch unit, and the charge storage component are connected to form at least a part of a loop. The switching control component is configured to turn on and off the switch unit so as to control a current flowing from the battery to the charge storage component and flowing from the charge storage component to the battery. The circuit for heating the battery is configured to heat the battery by at least discharging and charging the battery.
