  • Patent number: 9488696
    Abstract: A voltage detection apparatus comprises discharge circuits constituted by switch elements and resistors connected in series, and respectively connected in parallel to each of a plurality of battery cells constituting a storage battery, filter circuits provided for the respective battery cells and removing noise contained in voltage inputted by the battery cells, and voltage detection units (D) and (M) which detect voltage of the respective battery cells in which noise is removed by the filter circuits. The voltage detection units correct detection results, based on time from when the switch elements of the discharge circuits change into an OFF state to timing for detecting voltage of the battery cells. With this voltage detection apparatus, it is possible to correct the detection error of the voltage of the battery cell due to the influence of the filter circuit, thus improving the detection accuracy of the voltage of the battery cell.
