    摘要: A control system for a battery includes a current sensor and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to calculate a first error and a second offset error of the current sensor respectively based on outputs of the current sensor just before a stop of the electronic control unit and at startup of the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to correct an output of the current sensor by using a first error when a temperature of the current sensor at startup of the electronic control unit is higher than or equal to a threshold temperature, and correct the output of the current sensor by using a second error when the temperature of the current sensor at startup of the electronic control unit is lower than the threshold temperature.

    摘要: A power supply system includes a controller. The controller is configured to; a) control charging and discharging of an electrical storage device upon reception of an output of a current sensor and a voltage sensor, b) calculate a control current value by subtracting an offset value from a detected value of the current sensor, c) calculate a first determination result and a second determination result, respectively obtained by determining whether the electrical storage device is being charged or discharged based on the control current value, and based on a change in a remaining amount of charge of the electrical storage device, and d) when the first determination result and the second determination result differ from each other, change the offset value such that the first determination result coincides with the second determination result.

    摘要: When a voltage value of an electrical storage device becomes higher than a predetermined voltage value for identifying an overcharged state of the electrical storage device, calculation of a heat generation amount of the electrical storage device based on a current value is started. When the calculated heat generation amount is larger than a predetermined amount, it is determined that the electrical storage device is in an abnormal state (abnormal state related to heating). Because the electrical storage device enters an easily heated state when the voltage value becomes higher than the predetermined voltage value, the heat generation amount may be monitored by starting calculation of the heat generation amount. Once the voltage value becomes higher than the predetermined voltage value, irrespective of a high/low relationship between the voltage value and the predetermined voltage value, the abnormal state may be determined by monitoring the heat generation amount.
