PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic engine control device capable of automatically stopping an engine more, while restraining the deterioration in a battery, by highly accurately predicting voltage of the battery when restarting the engine. SOLUTION: When automatically stopping the engine 10, a maximum discharge current Is2 supplied to a starter 60 by the battery 30 up to restarting the next engine 10, is predicted based on voltage Vreal of the present battery 30, an internal resistance value Rb2 of the present battery 30 and a starter total resistance value [Rh+Rs] (S23). When automatically stopping the engine 10, lower limit voltage Vbtm2 of the battery 30 up to restarting the next engine 10, is predicted based on the voltage Vreal of the present battery 30, the internal resistance value Rb2 of the present battery 30 and the predicted maximum discharge current Is2 (S24). A determination is made on whether or not to restart the engine 10 when automatically stopping the engine 10 based on the predicted lower limit voltage Vbtm2 of the battery 30 (S32).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein it is difficult to accurately judge presence or absence of execution of an automatic stop process of an internal combustion engine provided with initial rotation by a starter using an in-vehicle battery as a power supply. SOLUTION: A voltage of the battery is lowered by stopping the internal combustion engine by an idle stop process with respect to before stopping the internal combustion engine in stopping of a vehicle. Then by automatically starting the internal combustion engine, the battery voltage is largely dropped further from a voltage Vbr for just a voltage drop amount ΔVst. At this time, if it is predicted that a minimum voltage Vmin will become a threshold voltage Vth or more, idle stop is allowed by predicting the voltage Vbr and the voltage drop amount ΔVst before the idle stop process.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation device calculating internal resistance of a vehicular battery with high accuracy. SOLUTION: A plurality of pairs of voltage/current are collected between a cranking period during a starting period of a vehicular engine (201), a regression line is determined from the collected pairs of voltage/current, and an internal resistance value Rd is calculated by inclination to determine a pseudo open voltage (204). An open voltage difference ΔVo, i.e., the difference of the pseudo open voltage before and after starting of the engine is calculated (205) and the internal resistance value Rd is corrected based on the open voltage difference ΔVo (206). Thereby, the internal resistance can be highly accurately operated as compared with the case where the correction is not performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
