Abstract: Voltage V2 is calculated by subtracting a terminal voltage at an end of discharge F. V. and a voltage drop (Rn+Rpolsat)*Ip caused by a maximum internal resistance (Rn+Rpolsat) of a battery at a given time. A quotient is calculated by dividing V2 by terminal voltage drop V1 after all charged capacity SOC2 (Ah) of a given battery is fully discharged. A dischargeable capacity (Ah) is calculated by multiplying the quotient by a given charged capacity SOC2 (Ah).

Abstract: [PROBLEM] To provide a method and an apparatus for estimating saturated polarization voltage drops, and a method for estimating residual discharge capacity of the battery in order to measure accurately the state of the battery.

Abstract: A microcomputer 23 monitors the battery condition by detecting a first deterioration degree caused by increase of an internal resistance of a battery 13 and a second deterioration degree caused by inactivation of an activation material in the battery 13 based on outputs of a current sensor 15 and a voltage sensor 17.

Abstract: A CPU 23a detects a charging efficiency which is a ratio of an electrical quantity to be stored in a battery 13 as electromotive force to an electrical quantity flowed into the battery 13 at any time point from a start of charging to an end of charging of the battery 13 on the basis of a charging current and charging voltage obtained by using a current sensor 15 and voltage sensor 17. Then, a fully charged state of the battery 13 is detected when the detected charging efficiency can be regarded as zero.

A unit for estimating residual discharge capacity 23a-2 estimates residual discharge capacity of the battery for allowing the maximum current to be continuously supplied to a load by subtracting the undischargeable electric charge calculated from the voltage drop estimated by the unit for estimating voltage drop 23a-1 from the dischargeable charge in any state of charge.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an equalizing method and an apparatus thereof for preventing unit cells from being over charged and discharged. After an ignition switch is turned off, CPU checks a voltage of a main battery and judges whether the main battery is in a state of equilibrium or not. When the main battery is in the state of equilibrium, the CPU controls a first and second switch groups to equalize voltages of unit cells included in the main battery by repeating a charge transfer from a maximum voltage cell to a minimum voltage cell for a predetermined period of time.
