BATTERY PACK AND BATTERY REMAINING AMOUNT CALCULATION METHOD

摘要

To reduce calculation errors of remaining battery power so as to take into account capacity diminutions due to cycle degradation and temperature, a remaining power calculation means specifies a temperature correction value for calculation of remaining battery power corresponding to temperature, from among temperature correction values changed every predetermined number of charge/discharge cycles stored in correction value storage means, on the basis of a temperature of a battery cell measured by a temperature measurement means and the number of charge/discharge cycles counted by charge/discharge counting means, and calculates remaining battery power corresponding to the specified temperature correction value. Temperature correction values changed every predetermined number of charge/discharge cycles are used instead of setting different temperature correction values for all charge/discharge cycles, whereby correction of remaining battery power based on cycle degradation and temperature is performed with a small number of parameters.
