A battery system includes a system controller connected to a controller area network (CAN) bus, and stations respectively connected to nodes of the CAN bus, wherein, a first station of the stations is configured to detect that a first battery pack has been coupled thereto, and is configured to transmit a first detection signal to the system controller, wherein the system controller is configured to provide a first wake-up signal for waking up the first battery pack to the first station in response to the first detection signal, wherein the first station is configured to wake up a first battery controller of the first battery pack in response to the first wake-up signal, and wherein the system controller is configured to be woken up and to transmit a command for allocating a first identifier (ID) corresponding to the first station to the first battery controller having a default ID via the CAN bus.
