  • Patent number: 11764448
    Abstract: A secondary battery has a battery body and a restraint. The battery body has a plurality of stacked power generation elements. The restraint restrains the battery body. The restraint has a first contact section (for applying a restraining force to an outermost layer surface (e.g., a negative electrode collector) of the battery body. The restraint is configured so that a stress occurring at a boundary of a non-contact region and a contact region of the first contact section is less than a breaking strength of the negative electrode collector, and the stress is based on the restraining force and on expansion and contraction of a negative electrode due to a change in volume of a negative electrode active material layer caused by charging and discharging.

  • Publication number: 20230221683
    Abstract: A remaining capacity estimation apparatus includes a storage processing unit and a calculation unit. The storage processing unit acquires a model from a model generation apparatus and stores the model in a model storage unit. When data for updating the model are acquired from the model generation apparatus, the storage processing unit updates the model stored in the model storage unit. The calculation unit calculates a remaining capacity of a storage battery managed by the remaining capacity estimation apparatus by using the model stored in the model storage unit. At this time, data (measurement data for calculation) input to the model include a current, a voltage, and a temperature of the storage battery. When the input data when generating the model are only a current, a voltage, and a temperature, the measurement data for calculation are only a current, a voltage, and a temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230155185
    Abstract: A control apparatus controls a relay. The control apparatus includes a control element, a monitoring circuit, and a determination unit. An input signal is input to the control element. The control element outputs an output signal and a diagnostic signal. The monitoring circuit generates an output monitor signal indicating the level of the output signal. The determination unit determines whether or not the control apparatus has an abnormality, based on a relationship between the output monitor signal and the diagnostic signal. Here, the output signal is a signal for driving the relay. One terminal of the monitoring circuit is electrically connected to an output terminal of the control element for the output signal. The diagnostic signal is a signal for monitoring the state of an output destination of the output signal.
