PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular power supply control device which properly performs power transfer between power storage means having different characteristics. SOLUTION: The vehicular power supply control device comprises: a high-voltage type battery 10 which is easily degraded at high capacity compared with low capacity; a low-voltage type battery 20 which is easily degraded at low capacity compared with high capacity; and a DC/DC converter 30 for performing the power transfer from the high-voltage type battery 10 to the low-voltage type battery 20. By performing the power transfer by the DC/DC converter 30 if the capacity of the low-voltage type battery 20 is below the predetermined threshold in a parking state, the time before the low-voltage type battery 20 is exhausted is prolonged, and the advancement of degradation of both batteries is delayed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure operation of a load supplied with power from a secondary battery by efficiently suppressing overcharge of a secondary battery, even when an abnormality is detected in the over-voltage detection means which detects whether or not over-voltage is generated in any of cells of the secondary battery. SOLUTION: A cell voltage detection circuit 20 is provide which detects whether or not over-voltage is generated in any of cells 20 of a lithium ion battery 12 constructed of a plurality of cells 20 connected in series. Further, it is also made to judge whether or not abnormality is detected in the cell voltage detection circuit 20. When it is judged that an abnormality is detected in the cell voltage detection circuit 20, the charging voltage at charging the lithium ion battery 12 is restricted to a lower voltage than the desired one.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lead deposition prevention mat capable of preventing moss-like lead from depositing on a group of electrode plates by a simple method. SOLUTION: The lead deposition prevention mat has a hole penetrating from a lower face to a top face, which is a tapered hole getting narrower from the lower side toward the top side such that moss-like lead can pass through the hole from the lower side toward the top side, while, it cannot pass from the top side toward the lower side. Moreover, the lead deposition prevention mat is further provided with a short circuit prevention means for preventing moss-like lead from forming a bridge between a cathode plate and an anode plate on a top face of the lead deposition prevention mat, after moss-like lead has passed through the hole from the lower side toward the top side.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power control device for a vehicle which can securely control an energy loss due to the conversion of voltage during the supply of power from a high-voltage system to a low-voltage system. SOLUTION: The power control device for the vehicle is provided with a high-voltage battery 10, a low-voltage battery 20, and a DC/DC converter 30 for outputting the voltage which is obtained by performing a step-down conversion of the voltage of the high-voltage system. When the low-voltage system voltage falls below the output voltage of the DC/DC converter 30, the power supply to the load 21, which is a subject to be backed up, is switched from the power supply from the low-voltage battery 20 to the power supply from the high-voltage battery 10 through the medium of the DC/DC converter 30. The DC/DC converter 30 outputs the first output voltage before the action of an engine which causes voltage fluctuations of the low-voltage system, and the first output voltage is smaller than the maximum allowable voltage of the back-up load 21. Then after the action of the engine, the second output voltage is outputted which is smaller than the first output voltage and is slightly larger than the minimum operating voltage of the back-up load 21.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a current detection device allowing the attachment irrespective of the type of a battery and facilitating the attachment work. SOLUTION: A detection part 21 of the current detection device 20 is installed at a battery post 12 protruding upward from a battery body 11. Then, the detection part 21 is attached to a taper part in which the amount of variation of the outer diameter of the battery post 12 from an upper end face 13 to the battery body 11 side is substantially constant. Thus, the detection part 21 is provided at a side spaced apart from the battery body 11 of the battery post 12. Therefore, the detection part 21 can be attached to the battery post 12 irrespective of the shape of the battery post 12. Further, the detection part 21 is attached to the battery post 12 by inserting the battery post 12 into an opening part 25. Thus, the attachment work is simplified. Further, because the detection part 21 is provided in a space formed at the battery post 12 side of the battery body 11, the space-saving is achieved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
