1. A battery management apparatus comprising:
a battery configured to provide energy to a drive motor that drives a vehicle;
a battery system connected to the battery and configured for measuring a temperature and a state of charge (SOC) value of the battery and control the temperature of the battery; and
a processor communicatively connected to the battery system and configured to:
determine an estimated battery temperature and an estimated SOC value of the battery at each of at least one stopover on an expected driving route of the vehicle to reach a destination of the vehicle,
determine an estimated charging time for charging the battery to a preset capacity at the at least one stopover based on the estimated battery temperature and the estimated SOC value, and
provide a user with a guidance for the estimated charging time at a stopover at which charging of the battery is performed or a recommended charging point among at least one of the stopover on the expected driving route where the estimated charging time is minimum.
