  • Publication number: 20220077790
    Abstract: In a multi-output power supply device, a low-load main circuit supplies power to a low-voltage load portion from a main battery by employing at least one of batteries constituting a battery series body as the main battery. A low-load sub circuit supplies power to the low-voltage load portion from sub batteries by employing the batteries different from the main battery as the sub batteries out of the batteries constituting the battery series body. A flyback converter is a converter provided in the low-load sub circuit and capable of transforming a voltage. A controller controls driving of the flyback converter to supply power to the low-voltage load portion via the flyback converter from the sub batteries when the main battery is abnormal.
