  • Publication number: 20250076398
    Abstract: The threshold cumulative value calculation unit calculates a threshold cumulative value. The current cumulating unit cumulates the charging current. When the first current cumulative value, which is the cumulative value from the start of charging, becomes equal to or larger than the threshold cumulative value, the maximum value detecting unit starts detection of the local maximum value of the amount of change in the voltage. The full charge capacity calculation unit calculates a full charge capacity by adding a first current cumulative value, which is a current cumulative value from when the maximum value is detected to when the full charge is detected, to a reference capacity when the maximum value is detected.
