Disclosed are a method and a device for estimating relatively accurately the time available for use on a battery considering the battery use pattern of a user. The device for estimating the available time for a battery of the present invention comprises: an electric current estimation unit for estimating the output electric current of a battery; a SOC estimation unit for estimating the SOC of the battery; and a control unit for estimating the available time on the battery using an electric current estimate value according to the electric current estimation unit, a SOC estimate value according to the SOC estimation unit, and the total capacity of the battery. |
