Abstract: A system for recording a charging history of a battery is mounted on a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. The battery is charged from an outside power source through a plug. The recording system includes a receiver for receiving signals from satellites of a global positioning system, a memory medium and a display device. Every time the battery is charged, a position where the battery is charged is recorded in the memory medium. The position is detected based on the signals from the satellites. A date and time when the battery is charged may be included in the charging-history. The recorded charging history is read-out from the memory medium upon request and displayed on the display device. Thus, the past charging-history is traced. The charging-history may be transmitted to an outside server located at a police station or a charging-service provider to prevent power stealing or to improve services.
