A battery system includes a motor serving as a driving source for driving a vehicle, a high capacity type battery and a high power type battery each capable of supplying a power to the motor, and a controller controlling charge and discharge of each of the high capacity type battery and the high power type battery. The controller causes the high capacity type battery to be discharged continuously. The controller controls charge and discharge of the high power type battery such that the SOC of the high power type battery is matched with a predetermined value while the high capacity type battery is discharged continuously. The controller causes the high power type battery to be discharged continuously such that the SOC of the high power type battery becomes lower than the predetermined value while the high capacity type battery is not discharged continuously.
