    Abstract: A battery system includes a battery unit, a heater unit, and a sensor unit. The battery unit is accommodated in a battery case and includes sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. The heater unit is configured to heat the battery unit. The sensor unit is configured to measure a hydrogen sulfide gas concentration inside the battery case. The heater unit is started to be driven when a measured value of the sensor unit becomes greater than the first threshold value. After starting the driving of the heater unit, when the measured value becomes greater than the second threshold value that is higher than the first threshold value, a responsive control is executed to deal with generation of the hydrogen sulfide gas from the sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries.
