The effects of Constant current- Constant voltage charging and combined sinusoidal waveform charging methods on the internal structure of LiFePO4 battery have been discussed in detail in this study. Experimental results clearly indicated that after 600 cycles, the battery that utilized the charging method had retained about 94% of state of health. In the electrochemical impedance analysis and cyclic voltammetry tests, the portion of the SEI film impedance was increased about 0.08 $\text{m}\Omega $ . In the micro structured view, no significant SEI film formation was observed on the surface of the negative electrode that used the battery in the present charging method. Finally, in the analysis of the SEI film composition, it was found that the Li2CO3 and Li2O content in the Li element was only about 15.97% and 4.42% in the battery employing this charging method, and the battery component contents in the CC-CV charging method were 27.2% and 6.69% respectively.
