Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for managing a battery that may manage a surrounding environment and a usage history of the battery. The battery management apparatus senses a temperature of an environment to which the battery is exposed, and stores a period of time during which the battery is exposed to a high temperature when the sensed temperature corresponds to a preset first or second area. In this instance, the battery management apparatus may determine whether the battery is simply exposed to the high temperature or the battery is charged or discharged while exposed to the high temperature, and store a usage time together. According to the present disclosure, information about a time domain affecting the life or performance of the battery may be calculated in consideration of the temperature environment to which the battery is exposed.
