摘要:
A first monitor circuit 50 and a second monitor circuit 60 each having an identical configuration are provided in a voltage monitor. A threshold switching section 41 switches a threshold of each of switching units 51 and 61 provided in the respective monitor circuits 50 and 60 to a same value. Each of comparators 53 and 63 compares the threshold with a reference voltage to output a result of the comparison. A fault detecting section 42 compares the respective outputs from the comparators 53 and 63 with each other to detect a characteristic shift of the threshold of each of the monitor circuits 50 and 60.

摘要:
A plurality of voltage switching circuits 41 are provided in a switching unit 40 to relatively change a reference voltage to plural levels, thus detecting a spontaneous change of the reference voltage. A range of relative change in the reference voltage by the plurality of voltage switching circuits 41 is set to a usage voltage range 81 or 82 as a part of a total voltage range 80 of each of cells 1a to 1d. This eliminates the need to provide voltage switching circuits 41 required to relatively change the reference voltage over the total voltage range of each of the cells 1a to 1d, making it possible to minimize the number of the voltage switching circuits 41 for each of the cells 1a to 1d. Thus, it is possible to prevent the size of a battery pack control apparatus 2 from increasing.

When a catalyst temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature on a second or subsequent start of an engine since system activation of a vehicle, a catalyst warm-up request is output for the purpose of warming up a catalyst in a catalytic converter. An output limit Wout of a battery is not increased in response to a second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request, while being increased in response to a first output of the catalyst warm-up request (S210 and S220). Accordingly, the catalyst warm-up in response to the second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request since the system activation suppresses excessive output of electric power from the battery and thereby suppresses deterioration of the battery. Catalyst warm-up is performed in response to the second or subsequent output of the catalyst warm-up request. This suppresses deterioration of emission. As a result, this configuration satisfies both (balances) suppression of deterioration of the battery and suppression of deterioration of emission.
摘要:
A diagnostic device diagnoses a rechargeable lithium ion battery that is configured of a plurality of battery blocks connected in series for a degraded state attributed to metallic lithium deposited therein. If a condition is established for starting a diagnosis, the diagnostic device starts discharging the battery, and after each battery block has a voltage (Vb) decreased to a measurement starting voltage (Vs) until the block has the voltage (Vb) decreased to a measurement ending voltage (Ve) the block discharges an amount (Q) of power, which the diagnostic device calculates for the battery block. If all blocks each discharge power in an amount (Q) larger than a brand-new product threshold value (A1) the diagnostic device determines that the battery is in a brand new condition. If all blocks each discharge power in an amount (Q) larger than a uselessness threshold value (A2) the diagnostic device determines that the battery is useful. If at least one block discharges power in an amount (Q) smaller than the uselessness threshold value (A2) the diagnostic device determines that the battery is useless.
摘要:
A battery system includes a discharge amount obtaining portion that obtains a discharge amount (determination zone discharge amount) from a determination start voltage until a predetermined determination end voltage of a battery; an internal resistance obtaining portion that obtains an internal resistance value of the battery; a correlation map in which a combination of internal resistance value information and determination zone discharge amount information for a battery that is the same kind as a target of a determination and in which lithium deposition has not occurred is stored for each degree of age-related deterioration of the battery; and a deposition determining portion that determines a degree of lithium deposition in the target battery by comparing the determination zone discharge amount during the determination of the target battery with the internal resistance value during the determination of the target battery on the same scale by converting at least one via the correlation map.
