Abstract:
A battery state estimation apparatus calculates a measured DC resistance value of a DC resistance based on a current change amount and a voltage change amount, which are calculated in a predetermined period using measured current value and voltage value. The battery state estimation apparatus further calculates (i) a non-temperature dependent constant and (ii) a constant of a temperature dependent function based on (i) an estimated DC resistance value and (ii) the measured DC resistance value. The estimated DC resistance value is an estimated value of the measured DC resistance value; the estimated DC resistance value is represented as a sum of (i) the non-temperature dependent constant Ra, which indicates a temperature independent component of the DC resistance of the secondary battery, and (ii) the temperature dependent function Rb, which indicates a temperature dependent component of the DC resistance of the secondary battery.
Abstract:
A battery state estimating device periodically estimates a battery state of a secondary battery. The battery state estimating device has a current amount acquiring section, a threshold amount memory, a current amount comparing section, a cycle setting section, and a battery state estimating section. The current amount acquiring section acquires a current amount flowing in the secondary battery. At least one current threshold amount is stored in advance in the threshold amount memory. The current amount comparing section compares the current amount acquired by the current amount acquiring section with the current threshold amount stored in the threshold amount memory. The cycle setting section sets an estimation cycle for estimating the state of the secondary battery based on this comparison result. The battery state estimating section periodically estimates the battery state of the secondary battery based on the estimation cycle set by the cycle setting section.

Abstract:
An electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: a core part including at least one of an inorganic oxide and a carbon-composite inorganic composite oxide; and a shell part for carbon coating on the core part. The electrode active material has a specific surface area of 6.0 m2/g or more. The electrode active material has a moisture content of 400 ppm or less, which is measured by a Karl Fischer method such that the electrode active material is heated in a heat-evaporating manner, and continuously maintained at 250° C. for 40 minutes without exposing to an atmosphere after the electrode active material is exposed to the atmosphere to absorb moisture to be saturated.
Abstract:
A power supply system is provided with a secondary battery, a memory unit, a calculation unit and a SOC characteristics acquiring unit. The memory unit stores initial characteristics data having a relationship between the open circuit voltage and the capacity for the secondary battery before being deteriorated. The calculation unit utilizes the initial characteristics data to calculate a deteriorated characteristics data which is a relationship between the open circuit voltage and the capacity of the deteriorated secondary battery. The SOC characteristics acquiring unit acquires the relationship between the open circuit voltage and the state of charge of the deteriorated secondary battery by dividing the capacity value included in the deteriorated characteristics data by the fully charged capacity of the deteriorated secondary battery.
