  • Publication number: 20230327470
    Abstract: A charger control apparatus includes a total current acquisition unit and a setting unit to control a plurality of chargers connected in parallel with each other and supplied with a current from a common wiring line. An upper limit value of a current flowing through the wiring line is described as a first upper limit value. The total current acquisition unit acquires a total value of a current flowing through the plurality of chargers. The setting unit sets, for each of the plurality of chargers, a second upper limit value being an upper limit value of a current flowing through the charger by using the first upper limit value. When a difference between the total value and the first upper limit value satisfies a reference, the setting unit updates the second upper limit value for each of the plurality of chargers by distributing the difference according to a first rule.

  • Publication number: 20220077538
    Abstract: A valve device and an assembled battery according to which even if the valve device operates, deterioration of an outer layer of a storage body is unlikely to be accelerated. The valve device is attached to a first storage body that stores a battery. The valve device includes an attachment part, a valve device main body, and a gas passage part. The attachment part is attached to the first storage body. The valve device main body reduces pressure inside the first storage body in a case where the pressure increases due to gas produced inside the first storage body. The gas passage part is between the attachment part and the valve device main body, and allows gas that passes through the attachment part to pass through the valve device main body. The valve device main body is located outward of an outer periphery of the first storage body.
