An embodiment of this application provides a charging control method and device and a power management controller. The charging control method includes: determining whether battery status of a battery pack meets preset conditions, where the battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells, and the preset conditions are: the battery pack has been left standing for a preset duration, and an open-circuit voltage of each battery cell in the battery pack falls within a preset range; and charging the battery pack based on a charging policy corresponding to a determining result, so that a capacity of a battery cell with a highest remaining capacity in the battery pack reaches a nominal capacity of the battery cell with the highest remaining capacity.
