ADJUSTING DEVICE, BATTERY PACK DEVICE, AND ADJUSTING METHOD

摘要

An adjusting device that adjusts voltage differences among a plurality of storage batteries that are connected in series is provided with: charging means that charges said storage batteries; each switching means that corresponds to each of said plurality of storage batteries, that connects a corresponding storage battery to said charging means in parallel when turned ON, and that releases the connection between the corresponding storage battery and said charging means when turned OFF; detection means that detects each voltage of said plurality of storage batteries; and control means that turns ON, from among a plurality of said switching means, the control-object switching means that corresponds to the charge-object storage battery, which has the lowest voltage that is detected by said detection means, from among said plurality of storage batteries, and moreover, that turns OFF switching means other than said control-object switching means.

1. An adjusting device that adjusts voltage differences among a plurality of storage batteries that are connected in series, comprising:
a charging unit that charges said storage batteries; each switching unit that corresponds to each of said plurality of storage batteries, that connects a corresponding storage battery to said charging unit in parallel when turned ON, and that releases the connection between the corresponding storage battery and said charging unit when turned OFF; a detection unit that detects each voltage of said plurality of storage batteries; and a control unit that turns ON, from among a plurality of said switching units, the control-object switching unit that corresponds to the charge-object storage battery, which has the lowest voltage that is detected by said detection unit, from among said plurality of storage batteries, and moreover, that turns OFF one or more switching units other than said control-object switching unit.
