  • Publication number: 20230356598
    Abstract: A vehicle power supply control device includes an interlock circuit configured to detect opening of a case of an electronic device, an interlock detecting unit configured to detect the opening based on an input signal from the interlock circuit, a vehicle speed detecting unit, and a power supply control unit configured to cut off supply of electric power from an onboard battery to the electronic device when a duration of a state in which a vehicle speed is 0 exceeds a predetermined stoppage time after the opening of the case has been detected.

  • Publication number: 20220402400
    Abstract: A battery management device includes: a first switch state acquisition unit configured to acquire the state of an ignition switch; a determination unit configured to determine to perform correction control for correcting an error in the state of charge (SOC) of the battery when the ignition switch is operated from ON to OFF; a correction control unit configured to perform the correction control of the SOC of the battery when it is determined that the correction control is to be performed; and a second switch state acquisition unit configured to acquire the state of a cancel switch for canceling the execution of the correction control. When the ignition switch is operated from ON to OFF while the cancel switch is ON, the determination unit determines that the correction control is not to be performed.
