Publication number: 20250029431Abstract: The mobile body includes a power storage device and a control device. The control device stores identification information of a first power storage device when the first power storage device is installed in the mobile body as the power storage device. When the first power storage device is replaced with the second power storage device and the identification information of the first power storage device stored in the control device is rewritten to the identification information of the second power storage device, the control device transmits a first signal indicating that the power storage device is replaced to the outside of the mobile body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuko TERASAWA, Tomoyoshi UEKI, Masahiro KAGAMI, Yasuhide KURIMOTO, Hiroshi YAMASAKI, Kenji ZAITSU, Yoshihiko ENDO
