(a1) setting a critical value of an allowable charging voltage difference between the battery modules during charging, and charging the battery based on a predetermined charging mode;
(a2) reading a voltage value of each module, individually storing the voltage value of each module, and calculating an average value of the stored voltage values;
(a3) displaying a predetermined indication at the data row of a corresponding module if a difference between a voltage value of any battery module and the average voltage value is greater than a predetermined critical value of the allowable charging voltage difference value; and
determining if a charging of the battery is completed;
waiting for a predetermined time and then returning to step (a2) if the charging of the battery is not completed; and
storing a predetermined number of data rows that have the predetermined indication if the charging of the battery is completed.
