Title: Battery pack and remaining battery capacity calculation method
Inventor: TSUCHIYA YUKIO
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: To reduce calculation errors of remaining battery power
so as to take into account capacity diminutions due to cycle
degradation and temperature, a remaining power calculation
means specifies a temperature correction value for
calculation of remaining battery power corresponding to
temperature, from among temperature correction values
changed every predetermined number of charge/discharge
cycles stored in correction value storage means, on the basis
of a temperature of a battery cell measured by a temperature
measurement means and the number of charge/discharge cycles
counted by charge/discharge counting means, and calculates
remaining battery power corresponding to the specified
temperature correction value. Temperature correction
values changed every predetermined number of
charge/discharge cycles are used instead of setting different
temperature correction values for all charge/discharge
cycles, whereby correction of remaining battery power based
on cycle degradation and temperature is performed with a small
number of parameters.
