The invention discloses a charging management method and a charger for a lithium ion battery pack, relating to application of the lithium ion battery pack on power equipment. In order to solve the defects of the security, the cycle life and the low temperature charging capacity of the lithium ion battery pack in the prior art, the invention provides the charging management method for the lithium ion battery pack. In the method, the lithium ion battery pack is charged in the manner of periodicity, i.e. each period consists of a charging phase and a standing phase. For the noncontinuous charging method, the concentration polarization and the electrochemical polarization are great in charging, but the concentration polarization and the electrochemical polarization are balanced very quickly due to molecular motion when power is cut off, therefore, the polarization of the battery can be reduced or eliminated, the security of the battery pack is greatly improved, the cycle life is prolongedand the low temperature charging capacity is enhanced. The charging method can be applied to the lithium ion battery pack of electric equipment, such as an electric bicycle, an electric automobile, an electric ship, an electric plane, a submarine, a torpedo, and the like.
