Abstract: A charging system for a storage battery, includes: a storage battery which supplies power to a motor which is a drive source for a plug-in electric vehicle; a power conversion unit which converts power supplied from an external power source and supplies the converted power to at least the storage battery; a flow path which is attached to the storage battery and the power conversion unit and through which heat medium for adjusting temperatures of the storage battery and the power conversion unit flows; a heating unit for heating the heat medium; a temperature detector for detecting the temperature of the storage battery; and a control unit which performs control to supply the converted power to the storage battery and the heating unit when the temperature of the storage battery is below a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A heating control device includes: a storage battery that supplies electric power to an electric motor of an electric vehicle; a heat generation portion that heats the storage battery using heat generated by current flowing; an estimation portion that estimates a change in effective capacity when the heat generation portion heats the storage battery to a target temperature using heat generated by current flowing due to electric power supplied from the storage battery based on an effective capacity corresponding to a temperature and a state of charge of the storage battery; and a controller that causes current flowing from the storage battery to the heat generation portion only in a case where the effective capacity estimated by the estimation portion is expected to be improved.
