The present invention relates to a state of charge (SOC) compensation
method of a battery and a battery management system using the SOC
compensation method. The charge and discharge current of the battery is
used to calculate a first SOC and a first voltage corresponding to the
first SOC, the charge and discharge current of the battery, the battery
pack voltage, and an internal resistance of the battery are used to
calculate a rheobasic voltage of the battery, an integration error
corresponding to a difference between the first voltage and the rheobasic
voltage is calculated, and a SOC compensation factor corresponding to the
error is added to or subtracted from the first SOC to determine a more
accurate SOC of the battery.
