Abstract: A controller executes an equalization process of equalizing capacities of a plurality of cells, and a cell abnormality determination process of, of detected voltages of the plurality of cells, calculating a voltage difference between a representative voltage based on the detected voltage of at least one cell to be compared and the detected voltage of one cell to be detected at a first time and a second time, and when a difference between the two voltage differences is greater than or equal to a threshold value, determining that the cell to be detected is abnormal. In the case of executing the cell abnormality determination process during the equalization process, the controller provides the detected voltage of a target cell to be subjected to the equalization process with a compensation value corresponding to a voltage change based on energy transfer in the target cell due to the equalization process between the first time and the second time, and calculates the voltage difference at the second time.

Abstract: In a battery abnormality prediction system, an acquisition unit acquires a current flowing through a battery and a temperature of the battery. A prediction unit predicts the occurrence of an abnormality in the battery, based on a relationship between the amount of the current flowing through the battery for a certain period of time and a rise in the temperature of the battery for the certain period of time. The prediction unit may compare the ratio of an integrated amount of current to the temperature rise for the certain period of time with a threshold determined based on data on the battery having caught fire and thereby predict a sign of fire to be caught by the battery.
