Provided is a device to sense battery internal state that can sense tiny elastic waves accompanying a reaction inside a battery and can accurately ascertain changes in battery internal state. The device (10) to sense the internal state of a battery (1) comprises restraining members (5, 5) that apply compressive force to the battery (1), a non-metallic plate (11) disposed between the battery (1) and a restraining member (5), and multiple acoustic emission sensors (13) affixed to the non-metallic plate (11). Compressive force is applied to the battery (1) by the restraining members (5, 5), elastic waves (W) generated in the battery (1) are sensed by the multiple acoustic emission sensors (13), and the internal state of the battery (1) is sensed by analyzing the sensed elastic waves (W). |
