Publication number: 20240128786Abstract: An electronic device includes a battery pack, a charging circuit that charges the battery pack, a load device that operates with a power of the battery pack, a voltage sensor that detects a charge voltage and a discharge voltage of the battery pack, a current sensor that detects a charge current and a discharge current of the battery pack, and a control circuit. The control circuit calculates an internal resistance of the battery pack based on the charge voltage and the charge current, calculates an allowable power indicating a maximum power that is able to be acquired from the battery pack by the load device based on the discharge voltage, the discharge current, and the internal resistance, and sends a control signal to the load device to cause the load device to operate with a power less than or equal to the allowable power.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiharu MASUDA, Yuri NISHIZUMI, Kazuyuki MATSUMOTO
