<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable continuous supplying of power to a loading instrument during impairment determination of a battery, and further, to enable supplying power to the loading instrument even when power failure occurs just after deterioration determination of the battery. <P>SOLUTION: While an AC power supplied from a power system and stored power of the battery 22 are supplied simultaneously to the loading instrument 3 connected with the power system, discharge characteristic of the battery 22 is measured within the range that the battery 22 leaves power needed for back up of the loading instrument. Deterioration of the battery is determined based on the measured discharge characteristic. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
