    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rapid low-temperature self-heating method and device for a battery. Active controllable large-current lossless short-circuit self-heating cooperates with an external heater to implement rapid composite heating, so that a battery is rapidly heated in a low-temperature environment and is controlled to fall within an optimal working temperature interval, so as to improve energy utilization of the battery and durability of a battery system. Before the battery system is started, battery temperature is first determined; when the temperature is less than a threshold, an external short-circuit is first proactively triggered to generate a large current to implement self-heating inside the battery. A method for determining a large-current lossless short-circuit time threshold is disclosed. A lossless time threshold of an external short-circuit of a battery is constructed according to a critical time and a second current peak of the short-circuit, ensuring that the service life and safety of the battery are not affected during rapid short-circuit heating; further, a temperature rise of lossless short-circuit self-heating of the battery is estimated based on a model, where if the temperature rise does not reach target temperature, the external heater is started for cooperative work, to make temperature of the battery system rise and kept in the optimal working temperature interval. The method is simple, easy to implement, and safe and reliable, and can effectively resolve a problem that an electric vehicle has large capacity degradation and poor working performance in a low-temperature severe cold working condition.
