BATTERY CONTROL APPARATUS FOR HYBRID POWERED VEHICLE

摘要

A voltage detector (12) detects the voltage levels of the battery blocks of the battery set (10). A presence of an overdischarged cell is detected when a voltage difference between each of the battery blocks reaches or exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 1V). At this point, a battery ECU (14) sets the SOC value of the battery set (10) at the lower control limit value (for example, 20%). This triggers an HV ECU (16) to control the load (18) such that charging is effectuated in the battery set (10). If further discharge occurs, the battery set (10) is disconnected from the load (18) by a relay (20).
