主权项

1. A battery pack having a housing and a secondary battery inside the housing, comprising:
a communicator configured to perform short-distance wireless communication with battery packs with a same structure as the battery pack; a generator configured to generate response information including information related to a status of the secondary battery in the battery pack based on a request signal that is a request for information related to the status of the secondary battery, wherein when the communicator receives the request signal from a first battery pack, the generator generates the response information based on the request signal that the communicator receives from the first battery pack; and a control circuitry configured to cause the communicator to transmit the response information to an entity from which the communicator receives the request signal and to transmit a request signal to another battery pack, wherein when the communicator receives the request signal from the first battery pack, the another battery pack is a second battery pack differing from the first battery pack.
