<p>The disclosed charging-rate computation system outputs a first estimated charging rate on the basis of the estimated open-circuit voltage of a secondary cell, outputs a second estimated charging rate on the basis of the cell capacity of the secondary cell and the results of integrating the measured current of the secondary cell as well as the upper error bound thereof over a predetermined cycle, outputs a third estimated charging rate on the basis of the cell capacity and the results of integrating the measured current as well as the lower error bound thereof over the predetermined cycle, and outputs a fourth estimated charging rate on the basis of the cell capacity and the results of integrating the measured current over the predetermined cycle. In the time period within the predetermined cycle, the abovementioned fourth estimated charging rate is output as the charging rate, and at the endpoint of the predetermined cycle: when the first estimated charging rate is a value of an estimated charging rate between the second estimated charging rate and the third estimated charging rate, the first estimated charging rate is considered the charging rate; when the first estimated charging rate is a value that is at least the second estimated charging rate, the second estimated charging rate is considered the charging rate; and when the first estimated charging rate is less than or equal to the third estimated charging rate, the third estimated charging rate is considered the charging rate.</p> |
