A battery system includes a battery pack, a detecting portion, a storage portion, and a determining portion. The battery pack includes serially-connected parallel battery units each of which includes battery cells connected in parallel. The detecting portion detects voltage and current of the units, and calculates the accumulated current value of each of the units. The storage portion stores reference voltage values to be associated the accumulated current value of each of the units. The determining portion reads, from the storage portion, one of the reference voltages corresponding to the accumulated value of each of the units, and compares the read reference voltage with the detection voltage of the each of the units. Thus, a battery cell internal short circuit is detected if the difference between the detection voltage and the read reference voltage exceeds a threshold. |
