Abstract: A method of estimating life of a nickel-metal hydride battery that accommodates a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate facing the positive electrode plate with a separator therebetween and containing a hydrogen absorbing alloy together with an electrolyte is disclosed. A charge phase of charging the nickel-metal hydride battery and a discharge phase of discharging the nickel-metal hydride battery after the charge phase constitutes one cycle for charge/discharge of the nickel-metal hydride battery. The method includes: determining a rate of change after one charge/discharge cycle of a surface area of the negative electrode plate which is a boundary face in contact with the electrolyte, and determining an amount of corrosion of the hydrogen absorbing alloy based on the rate of change accumulated for n charge/discharge cycles to estimate the life of the nickel-metal hydride battery based on the amount of corrosion.
