Abstract: An apparatus estimates charge/discharge electricity amount without being affected by current measurement error. Under specific selection conditions, a no-load voltage calculation part uses pairs of data consisting of current data I(n) and voltage data V(n) corresponding to the current data to calculate a no-load voltage Vsep as the voltage intercept at a current of zero in a straight-line approximation obtained by statistical processing such as regression analysis using a least squares method. If specific current conditions exist for a certain amount of time, an open circuit voltage calculation part calculates the terminal voltage of the secondary battery as the open circuit voltage Voc.

Abstract: When a power switch portion 10 is in an open state and a charge/discharge path of the secondary battery 100 is in a disconnected state, an electromotive force calculation portion 109 calculates a battery electromotive force Veq by subtracting a polarized voltage Vpol stored in a polarized voltage storage portion 113 from an open-circuit voltage OCV measured by a voltage measurement portion 102. Based on the electromotive force, a state-of-charge estimation portion 110 estimates a state of charge SOC. Thus, a polarized voltage to be considered for the estimation of SOC can be limited. The state of charge (SOC) of a secondary battery can be estimated with high accuracy and quickly.
