Original Abstract Submitted
A battery control apparatus includes a memory for storing a criterion voltage for a battery; a measuring unit for measuring a voltage of the battery during a charging or discharging process of the battery; and a processor for comparing the measured voltage and the criterion voltage during the charging or discharging process of the battery and changing a charging C-rate or a discharging C-rate for the battery when the measured voltage corresponds to the criterion voltage.
