Abstract: A vehicle is provided including a high-voltage battery for a motor/generator power source, a low-voltage battery for electrical loads, an inverter for controlling the motor/generator, sensors which detect a condition of the high-voltage battery, a rotation speed of the engine, a vehicle speed, and a depression of an accelerator pedal, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to compute a state of charge (SOC) of the high-voltage battery, compute a degree of deterioration of the high-voltage battery, control a current generated by the motor/generator so that the SOC of the high-voltage battery coincides with a target SOC, vary the target SOC according to the degree of deterioration of the high-voltage battery, determine whether or not the vehicle is decelerating, and set the target SOC to the low target SOC when the vehicle is not decelerating and to the high target SOC when the vehicle is decelerating.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle is provided with an internal combustion engine as a power source and an electric motor. The electric motor is used to charge the high-voltage battery. Charge/discharge control of the high-voltage battery and an idle-stop control can be performed, taking into account battery deterioration. For this purpose, the internal resistance R is detected as a degree of deterioration in the high-voltage battery. When the internal resistance R is less than a predetermined resistance R1, a threshold value of a state of charge (SOC) of the high-voltage battery, SOCa above which the idle stop operation permitted is set, fitted to an initial condition wherein the high-voltage battery has not undergone deterioration. On the other hand, when the internal resistance R is greater than or equal to the predetermined value R1, the threshold value tSOCa is varied to higher value. Further, a target SOC of the high-voltage battery is varied in response to the degree of deterioration of the battery.

Abstract: When a vehicle is decelerating a controller of a motor-generator (2) computes a target charging current according to a charge state of a high voltage battery by a target charging current computing unit (23), and limits this current by a first limiter (24) having a limiter value. An electrical load current supplied to vehicle-mounted electrical loads is computed by an electrical load current detecting unit (27). A target generation current produced by the motor-generator (2) is computed by adding the target charging current and electrical load current, by a target generation current detecting unit (28, 30). This computed value is limited by a second limiter (31) having a limiter value which varies according to an engine rotation speed, ON/OFF state of an air-conditioner and speed ratio.
