    Abstract: A battery pack in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a first cell, a memory device, a target current calculator, and an information notifier. The memory device stores a maximum variation of a charging current value. The maximum variation is determined depending on a characteristic of the battery pack. The target current calculator calculates a newest value of a target current value based on (i) a previous value of the target current value and (ii) the maximum variation. The information notifier transmits a charge condition information including the newest value.

    Abstract: A battery pack contains a plurality of battery cells that includes a first battery cell and a second battery cell; a first thermistor disposed closest to the first battery cell among the battery cells; a second thermistor disposed closest to the second battery cell among the battery cells. A case of the battery pack holds the battery cells, the first thermistor, and the second thermistor. The first battery cell is disposed such that at least one of the other battery cells is interposed between the first battery cell and a wall surface of the case in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the first battery cell. The second battery cell is disposed such that none of the other battery cells is interposed between the second battery cell and the wall surface of the case in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the second battery cell.

    Abstract: A battery charger in one aspect of the present disclosure includes an attachment portion, a charging circuit, a positive electrode terminal, a negative electrode terminal, at least one signal input terminal, an analog value acquisition device, a charging current detector, a comparison processor, and a current value reflection processor. The current value reflection processor performs one of a variable determination process for reference values and an analog value correction process. The variable determination process is a process for the current value reflection processor to variably determine the reference value based on a value of a charging current detected by the charging current detector. The analog value correction process is a process for the current value reflection processor to correct an analog value to be used in a comparison by the comparison processor based on the value of the charging current detected by the charging current detector.

    Abstract: A battery-charge control device comprises an attachment-detecting unit, a temperature-obtaining unit, a voltage-obtaining unit, a threshold-value-determining unit, a determination unit, and a completion-processing unit. The threshold-value-determining unit determines, based on a battery temperature obtained by the temperature-obtaining unit, a completion-threshold-value corresponding to the battery temperature for determining necessity of charging when the attachment-detecting unit detects that the battery pack is attached to the battery charger. The determination unit performs a determination of whether a voltage obtained by the voltage-obtaining unit is equal to or greater than the completion-threshold-value determined by the threshold-value-determining unit when the attachment-detecting unit detects that the battery pack is attached to the battery charger. The completion-processing unit performs a specified battery-charge completion processing indicating unnecessity of charging of the battery by the battery charger when the determination unit determines that the obtained voltage is equal to or greater than the completion-threshold-value.
