Abstract
There is provided a method and apparatus for controlling charging of a secondary battery. The apparatus includes a receiving unit, a sensing unit and a charging controller. The receiving unit receives a full-charge time of the secondary battery from a user terminal. The sensing unit monitors a charging state of the secondary battery. The charging controller controls charging of the secondary battery, using the full-charge time and the charging state. Accordingly, the charging of a secondary battery is controlled to be completed at a full-charge time desired by a user, thereby preventing deterioration of the secondary battery.
