Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: a motor serving as a driving source for running the vehicle; a high-power assembled battery and a high-capacity assembled battery each capable of supplying an electric power to the motor, the high-power assembled battery including a plurality of secondary cells connected in series, and the high-capacity battery including a plurality of secondary cells connected in parallel; and a temperature adjusting mechanism supplying a heat exchange medium to the high-power assembled battery and the high-capacity assembled battery, the heat exchange medium being used to adjust a temperature of each of the assembled batteries, wherein the high-power assembled battery is capable of charge and discharge with a current relatively larger than that in the high-capacity assembled battery, and the high-capacity assembled battery has an energy capacity relatively larger than that of the high-power assembled battery, has a higher dependence of battery characteristic on temperature than that of the high-power assembled battery, and is placed on a flow path of the heat exchange medium upstream of the high-power assembled battery.
