摘要:
Measurement of a cell voltage is executed immediately after diagnosis of a battery management device is ended. In a battery management device 10, current sources G11 and G12 repeatedly perform an energization operation to cause a current to flow to voltage detection lines L1, L2 and L3 with a magnitude of the current that enables each amount of charge stored in capacitors C11, C12, and C13 changed by one energization operation to fall within a range corresponding to a fluctuation width of terminal voltages of battery cells 21 and 22 during the energization operation when resistors R11, R12, and R13 are in a normal state. When the difference between the current terminal voltage of the battery cell 21 or 22 and the past terminal voltage of the battery cell 21 or 22 is larger than the predetermined threshold value, the microcomputer 130 diagnoses that the resistor R11, R12 or R13 is in the open state.
