However, the cutoff current is unknown, and in order to make the capacity corresponding to the charging regime to be optimized larger than the standard group charging capacity, the cutoff current xxC is set to 200mA for calculation. It will be appreciated that other currents may be used for cutoff current xxC in order to ensure that the corresponding capacity under the charging regime is greater than the standard pack capacity.
