Disclosed is an apparatus and method for warning a charge amount. The apparatus for warning a charge amount includes a storage unit to store an indication unit used to indicate a remaining charge amount of a battery and a warning value based on the indication unit, a measurement unit to measure an electrical characteristic value of the battery, a charge amount calculation unit to calculate a remaining charge amount from the measured electrical characteristic value of the battery, an indication unit conversion unit to convert the calculated remaining charge amount to an indication unit based on a power amount consumed in a load electrically connected to the battery by the indication unit, and a determination unit to output a warning signal when the converted remaining charge amount is less than or equal to the warning value. According to the present disclosure, a warning is provided to charge a battery before the battery is fully discharged. In this instance, the warning may be set to be provided by a unit of a desired form at a desired point in time by a user, so when the user uses a device including the battery, predictability in operation or management may be further improved. |
