Abstract:
An internal resistance estimation device for estimating an internal resistance of an electric storage device includes a current measurement portion, a voltage measurement portion, and a controller. The current measurement portion is configured to measure a charge current to the electric storage device. The voltage measurement portion is configured to measure a terminal voltage of the electric storage device. The controller is configured to estimate an internal resistance of the electric storage device based on the charge current and the terminal voltage measured in a restrictive period of charge time for charging the electric storage device. The restrictive period is a period in which a time variation in charge current is constant.
