PURPOSE: An SOC estimation method using a polarizing voltage and an open circuit voltage is provided to estimate the state of charging of a battery by using internal resistance and the polarizing voltage per temperature and per current. CONSTITUTION: Idle time in case of initial power-on is judged in order to calculate the state of charging of an initial battery. When the battery is not used for more than a constant time, the state of charging of the battery is estimated by measuring an open circuit voltage per temperature. When the idle time is less a predetermined constant time, the stored existing state of charging of the battery is used.
