    摘要: A storage battery control device controls a storage battery string including storage batteries connected in series and a bypass circuit configured to switch the storage batteries between a bypass state and a connection state. While causing the bypass circuit to switch the storage batteries between the bypass state and the connection state, a process of charging or discharging the storage batteries is executed to decrease a difference between remaining capacities of the storage batteries until completion of the process. And then, the process is executed while causing the bypass circuit to maintain the storage batteries in the connection state, and when the process is switched from charge to discharge or from discharge to charge, a period where a bypass prevention process of preventing the bypass circuit from switching the storage batteries from the connection state to the bypass state is executed is provided.

    摘要: A battery control unit includes a switching unit, a system controller, and a control unit. The switching unit switches between a connection state in which the corresponding battery is discharged and a non-connection state in which the corresponding battery is not discharged. The system controller limits a discharge current flowing through the battery in the connection state so as not to exceed a minimum discharge current limitation value that is smallest among discharge current limitation values. The control unit switches to the non-connection state in order from the battery having the minimum discharge current limitation value before the discharge current limitation unit limits the discharge current. Further, the control unit switches all the batteries to the connection state after the batteries in the connection state becomes one, and then switch the battery to the non-connection state in order from the battery determined to reach a discharge termination state.

    摘要: A battery system includes a battery circuit group in which a plurality of battery circuits, each including a plurality of battery units including a battery and a switching unit connected in series, are connected in parallel, and a control unit that controls the switching unit. The switching unit switches a state of the battery unit between a first state, in which the battery is connected between a positive electrode end and a negative electrode end of the battery unit, and a second state, in which the positive electrode end and the negative electrode end are connected without the battery. When discharging, the control unit controls the switching unit such that the state of the battery unit including the battery determined to be not fully discharged becomes the first state, and the state of the battery unit including the battery determined to be fully discharged becomes the second state.

    摘要: A battery pack is provided which enables a reduction of a load on the electrodes which occurs with expansion or contraction of the batteries. Multiple batteries have electrode tabs protruding from both ends, and are stacked in a stacking direction orthogonal to a protrusion direction of the electrode tabs. Busbar modules are jointed to the electrode tabs and comprise busbars for connecting the batteries. An aluminum plate is arranged between batteries of the multiple batteries which are adjacent to a center. This aluminum plate and the busbar modules are fixed.
