PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decide an accurate capacity adjustment condition for adjusting capacity of a battery pack and sufficiently equalizing capacity of respective cells. SOLUTION: A charge capacity SOC of each cell in the battery pack, in which a plurality of cells are connected in series, is detected and its mean value is found. Only when the mean value of the charge capacity SOC is within a range giving an inclination ¾▵Vo/▵SOC¾ between the cell charge capacity SOC and an open circuit voltage Vo characteristic, the capacity adjustment condition of the each cell in the battery pack is decided. According to this capacity adjustment condition, the charge capacity of the each cell in the battery pack is adjusted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
