摘要： A sensor contactlessly driven by a single power supply is disclosed. A current flows in a resistor R.sub.L through the secondary winding of a coil in the direction corresponding to the direction of magnetic fluxes generated in the coil in accordance with discharge or charge mode of a main battery. The input terminal of a voltage follower is connected to the voltage-dividing point of a series circuit including resistors R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 and a reference voltage control circuit. The reference voltage control circuit changes the input voltage of the voltage follower in accordance with the direction of the current flowing in the resistor R.sub.L. It follows therefore that the measurement range is switched in accordance with discharge or charge mode of the main battery, with the result that the overall measurement range can be widened in spite of the fact that only a single power supply +Vcc is used.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided, by which a state of charge of a battery is accurately computed without being influenced by the polarization effect. An estimated voltage of the battery 13 in a constant load discharge with a predetermined large current value is estimated from a voltage-current characteristic when the discharge current of the constant load discharging process by the battery 13 that is in an equilibrium state is decreasing from the predetermined large current value corresponding to a maximum supplying electric power to the load. A difference between the estimated voltage and an open circuit voltage, which estimates the estimated voltage and is a terminal voltage of the battery 13 that is in an equilibrium state before the start of the constant load discharge by using the predetermined large current value, is calculated. Then, the difference is memorized by first memory means 27 for memorizing a residual voltage drop defining as the residual voltage drop due to a residual polarization at the end of the discharging process of the battery 13. The residual voltage drop memorized by the first memory means 27 is added to the estimated voltage of the battery 13, thereby a present charging capacity of the battery 13 is computed.

摘要： A voltage sensor detects a terminal voltage of a battery connected to a load and a current sensor detects a current flowing through the load. A voltage-current changing tendency calculation unit reads a detected voltage and a detected current detected by the voltage sensor and the current sensor and outputs, every predetermined period of time, plural data of the detected voltage and the corresponding detected current as dispersed data. A voltage-current approximating line calculation unit inputs the dispersed data and determines, based on the dispersed data, a voltage-current approximating linear function each time the predetermined period of time. A battery remaining capacity calculation unit determines, each time the voltage-current approximating linear function is determined, a remaining capacity of the battery based on the voltage-current approximating linear function. Particularly the voltage-current approximating line calculation unit determines the voltage-current approximating linear function by applying a method of least squares to the plural data of the voltage and the corresponding current of the dispersed data.
