Abstract: A printed circuit body includes a bus bar as a metal member electrically connected with a connected body, an insulator layer providing insulation properties, and a conductor layer formed across the metal member and the insulator layer and electrically connected with the metal member. The metal member and the insulator layer are positioned such that a metal-member side connected surface of the metal member on which the conductor layer is provided and an insulator-layer side connected surface of the insulator layer on which the conductor layer is provided are positioned at an identical plane. This configuration allows connection between the bus bar and the conductor layer and circuit formation to be simultaneously achieved at manufacturing of the printed circuit body, thereby facilitating formation of a wiring structure of the bus bar and the conductor layer.

Abstract: A battery charge control device is capable of detecting a gassing state in a battery without using a temperature sensor. Under condition of charging the battery 5 with a charging current, when a terminal voltage Vi of the battery 5 monitored by the device exceeds a threshold value, a temporary-gassing detecting unit 23 informs a voltage regulation calculating unit 24 that the battery 5 is in course of reaching its gassing state. The voltage regulation calculating unit 24 calculates a changing rate of terminal voltage Vi of the battery 5 while it is in course of reaching the gassing state. When the calculated changing rate exceeds a preset decision value, a gassing detecting unit 25 judges that the battery 5 has just reached the gassing state. A decision value renewing unit 27 changes the decision value corresponding to the charging current.
