1. An electrochemical device, comprising:
a negative electrode plate, a positive electrode plate, a separator, m negative tabs and n positive tabs;
the separator is provided between the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate;
the m negative tabs are electrically connected to the negative electrode plate;
m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1;
the n positive tabs are electrically connected to the positive electrode plate;
n is a positive integer greater than 1;
n>m; and
the electrochemical device is configured to be charged with a multi-stage constant current charging method;
wherein,
the electrochemical device is configured to be
charged with a first charging current I1 until a voltage of the electrochemical device reaches a first voltage U1;
charged with a second charging current I2 until the voltage of the electrochemical device reaches a second voltage U2;
I2<I1;
U2>U1;
charged with the second voltage U2 until a current of the electrochemical device reaches a charging cut-off current I0;
wherein,
a charging voltage limit of the electrochemical device is U0; and
