    摘要: A capacity ratio estimation apparatus and method for a battery detects current and voltage of the battery; specifies an integration period from a first time point to a second time point and calculates an integration value of the current for the integration period based on detected current; calculates a first open circuit voltage at the first time point based on the detected voltage and calculates a second open circuit voltage of the battery at the second time point based on the detected voltage; and estimates a capacity ratio of the battery based on a voltage difference between the first open circuit voltage and the second open circuit voltage and an integration value satisfying predetermined conditions. The integration value is equal to a predetermined lower limit value or greater and an average value of the current of the battery for the integration period is equal to the predetermined value or greater.
