Claim 10:
11. A braking device of a double bearing reel that brakes a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body of the double bearing reel on which a fishing line may be wound, the braking device comprising:
a braked unit attached to the spool;
a braking unit that applies a braking force to the braked unit;
an adjustment unit capable of adjusting the braking force of the braking unit;
a motor capable of driving a part of the braking unit;
a reduction mechanism that transmits drive of the motor to the part of the braking unit;
a control unit that controls the motor;
a power supply unit that supplies electric power to the motor; and
a remaining amount detection unit that detects a remaining amount of the power supply unit,
wherein, in a case where a reduction ratio of the reduction mechanism is set to r, energizing torque of the motor is set to T, holding torque of the motor is set to C, and maximum torque required to move the braking unit is set to Mmax, the control unit determines whether Mmax/T<r<Mmax/C is satisfied or Mmax/T<r and Mmax/C<r are satisfied, and
in a case where it is determined that Mmax/T<r<Mmax/C is satisfied, the control unit adjusts the adjustment unit to achieve a maximum braking force value or sets the maximum braking force value to a set value and turns off the power supply unit in a case where the remaining amount of the power supply unit becomes a predetermined value or smaller, and
in a case where it is determined that Mmax/T<r and Mmax/C<r are satisfied, the control unit turns off the power supply unit after adjusting the adjustment unit to achieve a predetermined braking force value or without adjusting in the case where the remaining amount of the power supply unit becomes the predetermined value or smaller.
