  • Patent number: 9026389
    Abstract: A first estimated state of charge is output based on an estimated open voltage of a secondary battery. A second estimated state of charge is output based on the result obtained by integrating the measured current of the secondary battery and the upper limit of the error of the measured current and the capacity of the secondary battery. A third estimated state of charge is output based on the result obtained by integrating the measured current and the lower limit of the error of the measured current and the battery capacity. A fourth estimated state of charge is output based on the result obtained by integrating the measured current and the battery capacity. The fourth estimated state of charge is output as a state of charge within the period of the predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 8994334
    Abstract: The battery state-of-charge calculation device (100) is provided with a SOCV calculation unit (5) which outputs a first state of charge calculated based on voltage data, a SOCI calculation unit (6) which outputs a second state of charge calculated based on current data, an estimated impedance voltage calculation unit (12) which calculates an impedance voltage value based on an effective state of charge and the current data, a static determination unit (7) which determines that the impedance voltage value remains static for a predetermined time or longer in a range identified by a predetermined threshold value and outputs the determination result; and a SOC decision unit (20) which, based on the determination result, outputs the first state of charge as the effective state of charge where the impedance voltage value is static and outputs the second state of charge as the effective state of charge where the impedance voltage value is not static.
