1. A method, comprising:
obtaining an open-circuit voltage of a rechargeable battery and a negative electrode open-circuit voltage of the rechargeable battery based on a state of charge of the rechargeable battery;
obtaining a negative electrode polarization voltage of the rechargeable battery based on the open-circuit voltage of the rechargeable battery, a terminal voltage of the rechargeable battery, and a polarization proportion of the rechargeable battery, wherein the polarization proportion of the rechargeable battery represents a proportion that is of the negative electrode polarization voltage of the rechargeable battery to a polarization voltage of the rechargeable battery and that is obtained when the rechargeable battery is at a lithium plating critical point;
obtaining a negative electrode voltage of the rechargeable battery based on the negative electrode open-circuit voltage of the rechargeable battery and the negative electrode polarization voltage of the rechargeable battery; and
determining, based on the negative electrode voltage of the rechargeable battery, whether lithium plating occurs in the rechargeable battery.
