<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prolong the life of a battery by using a prescribed auxiliary means for the battery. <P>SOLUTION: A solar battery 33a consisting of a plurality of panels is mounted on the outer surface (a side face 33b) of a battery storage part 33, and the solar battery 33a is connected parallel to the battery 34. Accordingly, if the battery 34 as a secondary battery is always charged and the battery device 3 is used for an endoscope, the life of the battery will not run out even if an endoscope is used for in-vivo observation for a long time, so that the in-vivo observation of a subject can be efficiently performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
