Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 8:
9. A method for controlling charging of a battery of a vehicle, the method comprising:
storing, by a storage unit, a first information and a second information;
receiving, by an on-board charger (OBC), available charging current information from a power supply unit, wherein the power supply unit is installed outside of the vehicle;
setting a required charging current based on the available charging current information received from the OBC and transmitting the required charging current to the power supply unit;
charging the battery by receiving the required charging current from the power supply unit, and
when it is determined that charging of the battery is abnormally terminated in a state where charging is not completed, charging the required charging current to charge the battery based on the first information for charging current supplied from the power supply unit upon abnormal termination of charging in decreasing order and based on the second information for charging current supplied from the power supply unit upon normal completion of charging in decreasing order,
wherein charging the required charging current to charge the battery includes;
comparing an abnormal charging current supplied from the power supply unit upon abnormal termination of charging with a first normal charging current having a maximum intensity among the second information stored in a storage unit, and
when the abnormal charging current is greater than the first normal charging current, changing the required charging current to the first normal charging current to allow the battery to be charged.
