Abstract

A computer device includes a non-transitory storage medium configured to store a plurality of processor executive commands and a processor configured to execute the plurality of processor executive commands. By executing the processor executive commands, the processor may be configured to estimate a state of charge (SOC) based on at least one of a measured voltage value, a measured current value, and a measured temperature value, correct the estimated SOC based on a polarization voltage of a secondary battery, determine a magnitude of a charging current based on the corrected SOC and the measured temperature value, and provide information on the determined magnitude of the charging current to a charging device.
