Claim:
1. A vehicle comprising: an air conditioner to condition air in an interior of the vehicle; a battery used as an energy source; a dehumidification unit to cool air blown from the interior of the vehicle; a duct, through which the air cooled by the dehumidification unit is guided to the battery; a battery temperature sensor to sense temperature in the battery; a battery humidity sensor to sense relative humidity in the battery; a vehicle interior temperature sensor to sense temperature of an interior of the vehicle; an external air temperature sensor to sense temperature of air outside the vehicle; and a controller configured to: calculate a dew point temperature using the battery temperature sensed by the battery temperature sensor and the battery humidity sensed by the battery humidity sensor, control the dehumidification unit such that a difference between the battery temperature and the dew point temperature is within a set range, wherein the set range is set based on the temperature of the interior of the vehicle sensed by the vehicle interior temperature sensor and the temperature of air outside the vehicle sensed by the external air temperature sensor.
