Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of battery technologies, and disclose a pre-charging circuit for a high voltage battery pack and a pre-charging method therefor. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, during a charging process, a control module switches on a charging switching module and switches off a charging pre-charging module after determining that a voltage at the first end of the charging switching module and a voltage at the second end of the charging switching module comply with a first constraint relationship; during a discharging process, the control module switches on the main positive switching module and switches off the main positive pre-charging module after determining that a voltage at the first end of the main positive switching module and a voltage at the second end of the main positive switching module comply with a second constraint relationship.
