    摘要: A battery charging system can include a first charger module having a first AC side couplable to an AC source and a first DC side couplable to a battery and first control circuitry that operates the first charger to charge or discharge the battery; and a second charger module having a second AC side couplable to the AC source and a second DC side couplable to the battery and second control circuitry that operates the second charger to generate heat, wherein: if the first charger module is charging the battery from the AC source, the second control circuitry operates the second charger to generate heat without delivering charging current to the battery; and if the second charger is discharging the battery to the AC source, the second control circuitry operates the second charger to generate heat without delivering current to the AC source.

    摘要: A battery that can inhibit temperature rising when generating heat due to a short circuit etc., while inhibiting degradation of the battery output performance, includes a plurality of unit batteries stacked together; and an endothermic layer arranged between the unit batteries adjacent in a stacking direction, the layer including an endothermic material, wherein each unit battery includes: a pair of current collectors; and at least one electrode body, wherein: the pair of current collectors are arranged to both ends of the unit battery in the stacking direction respectively, the electrode body includes a first pole active material layer, a second pole active material layer which is different from the first pole active material layer, and a solid electrolyte layer; the first and second pole active material layer are arranged between the pair of current collectors; and the current collectors have contact with the first or second pole active material layer.
