  • Publication number: 20230393212
    Abstract: A control device that controls a battery includes one or more processors configured to: acquire a physical quantity of the battery; detect a predetermined signal; control a relay based on the physical quantity of the battery, the relay being connected between the battery and a predetermined device to which power is supplied from the battery; connect the relay when the physical quantity of the battery has continuously satisfied a predetermined condition for a first time period while the relay is in a disconnected state; and change the first time period depending on whether the predetermined signal has been detected by the one or more processors.

  • Patent number: 11721984
    Abstract: A battery monitoring system includes a battery pack for a vehicle and a battery monitoring device that monitors a state of a battery cell included in the battery pack. The battery pack includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire battery information of the battery cell, a first storage unit configured to store the acquired battery information, and a first communication unit configured to transmit the battery information stored in the first storage unit to the battery monitoring device. The battery monitoring device includes a second communication unit configured to receive the battery information transmitted from the first communication unit, a second storage unit configured to store the received battery information, and a third storage unit configured to store initial battery information indicating a battery state at the time of manufacture of the battery pack.

  • Publication number: 20220385078
    Abstract: A charging control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to control charging of a plurality of battery cells that configure an assembled battery, during charging, in a case in which a voltage value of a battery cell having a highest voltage among the plurality of battery cells is equal to or greater than a threshold value and a current value is equal to or less than a set value, measure a closed circuit voltage (CCV) of the plurality of battery cells, and for a battery cell for which a potential difference with respect to a voltage of a battery cell with a lowest measured CCV is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, execute discharging processing so as to eliminate the potential difference.
