Claim:
1. A battery temperature regulating device comprising: a battery module; a temperature detection device configured to detect a temperature of the battery module; a battery temperature regulating device configured to adjust the temperature of the battery module; and a battery pack case housing the battery module and the battery temperature regulating device, the battery pack case including a vent configured to enable passage of gas from inside the battery pack case to outside, the battery temperature regulating device including a cooling heat exchanger configured to cool air that passes therethrough, a condensed water reservoir configured to store condensed water generated in the cooling heat exchanger, and an air blowing device configured to blow the air in the vicinity of the cooling heat exchanger and the condensed water reservoir and circulate the air within the battery pack case, the battery temperature regulating device is configured to cool the air that passes through the cooling heat exchanger, drive the air blowing device to execute the cooling of the battery module when the temperature of the battery module detected by the temperature detection device is higher than a predetermined temperature, drive only the air blowing device regardless of the temperature of the battery module detected by the temperature detection device, at a predetermined timing after the execution of the cooling of the battery module is completed, and set a drive output of the air blowing device when driving at the predetermined timing lower than the drive output of the air blowing device when executing cooling of the battery module.
