Status detector for power supply, power supply, and initial characteristic extracting device for use with power supply

摘要

A status detector for a power supply, a power supply, and an initial characteristic extracting device for use with the power supply, each of which can detect the status of an electricity accumulating unit with high accuracy by sequentially modifying characteristic information necessary for the status detection of the electricity accumulating unit. A measuring unit obtains measured values of at least current, voltage and temperature of the electricity accumulating unit. A processing unit executes status detection of the electricity accumulating unit by using the measured values and the characteristic information of the electricity accumulating unit which is stored in a memory unit. A discrepancy detecting unit detects the presence of a discrepancy away from a theoretical value when a result of the status detection obtained by the processing unit is changed over a predetermined threshold or reversed with respect to the measured values obtained by the measuring unit. A modifying unit modifies the characteristic information stored in the memory unit depending on the discrepancy detected by the discrepancy detecting unit.
