  • Publication number: 20250010762
    Abstract: Vehicles include a main battery, an auxiliary battery, charging relays, a DC/DC converter, and an ECU. The charging relay is used to perform external charging for charging the main battery by the power equipment. The DC/DC converter is configured to step down the discharging power of the main battery and to provide the stepped-down power to the auxiliary battery. ECU controls the DC/DC converter. ECU lowers the charging state of the auxiliary battery from the first state to the second state by the end of the external charging, and drives the DC/DC converter after the end of the external charging.

  • Publication number: 20240413415
    Abstract: A battery system includes a battery unit, a heater unit, and a sensor unit. The battery unit is accommodated in a battery case and includes sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. The heater unit is configured to heat the battery unit. The sensor unit is configured to measure a hydrogen sulfide gas concentration inside the battery case. The heater unit is started to be driven when a measured value of the sensor unit becomes greater than the first threshold value. After starting the driving of the heater unit, when the measured value becomes greater than the second threshold value that is higher than the first threshold value, a responsive control is executed to deal with generation of the hydrogen sulfide gas from the sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries.
