摘要:
Provided is a cell capacity adjusting device for reducing fluctuations in state of charge (SOC) among cells of a battery pack 101, which is formed by connecting a plurality of cells 111-116 in series, during suspension of operation of electrically-powered equipment whose main power source is the battery pack 101. From among the plurality of cells 111-116, one or a plurality of cells having a voltage value equal to or higher than a cell capacity adjustment target voltage are selected. By the selected cells, an intermittent operation unit 105, which operates even during the suspension of operation of the electrically-powered equipment, is caused to perform an intermittent operation. Through repetition of the intermittent operation, voltage values of the selected cells are decreased. Thus, fluctuations in state of charge (SOC) among cells are reduced without unnecessarily discharging battery stored energy of the battery pack 101.

摘要:
Provided is an electrically driven vehicle (10) loaded with a driving storage battery (20) charged by electric power supplied from a power supply outside the vehicle, including an occupant detection sensor (70) for detecting whether or not an occupant is in the electrically driven vehicle (10), rotation sensors (80) for detecting presence/absence of rotations of wheels (90) provided to the electrically driven vehicle (10), and a charge control unit (60) for determining whether or not a state in which the occupant detection sensor (70) detects that the occupant is not in the electrically driven vehicle (10) and the wheel rotation sensors (80) detect that the wheels (90) are not rotating has continued for a predetermined period, and starting, when the charge control unit (60) determines that the state has continued for the predetermined period, the charge of the driving storage battery (20).
