Abstract: A chargeable power of the battery is calculated based on a voltage and charge upper-limit voltage of a battery; the chargeable power and outputtable power of the charger are compared and a lower power is calculated as a first charge power; a timing that the battery temperature reaches a predetermined limit is calculated as a first timing; based on the temperature, surrounding temperature, and charge current when charging with the first charge power, a second charge power limited according to the battery temperature is calculated; by referencing a map, a charge time that comes after the first timing is calculated as a second charge time based on the state of the battery when the first timing is reached and the second charge power; and time obtained by adding the second charge time to the first charge time until the first timing is reached is calculated as the total charge time.

Abstract: A battery capacity display method to display a full charge capacity of a battery and a residual capacity of the battery, respectively, as a full charge capacity display value and a residual capacity display value, the battery capacity display method includes: correcting the full charge capacity display value and/or the residual capacity display value so as to decrease a difference between the full charge capacity display value and the residual capacity display value when the battery is in the full charge state and the full charge capacity and the residual capacity in the full charge state are different from each other, and displaying a corrected full charge capacity display value and/or a corrected residual capacity display value.
