Abstract
A method for charging a battery is used for charging a solid secondary battery including a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode active material layer and a solid electrolyte layer formed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer. Specifically, the method for charging a battery includes a process for obtaining or estimating temperature of the solid secondary battery; and an over-discharge process for lowering voltage of the solid secondary battery to or below a rated voltage by performing over-discharge and/or making an external short circuit with respect to the solid secondary battery prior to a process for charging the solid secondary battery, provided that the temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature.
