Abstract:
A battery device includes battery module, each including an assembled battery and a battery monitoring circuit. The assembled battery comprises battery cells. The battery monitoring circuit measures voltages of the battery cells, current and temperature levels of the assembled battery. A control circuit is connected to the battery monitoring circuits through a communication line and supplies power to the battery monitoring circuits. The control circuit communicates with the battery monitoring circuits through the communication line. Each battery monitoring circuit is configured to monitor signals transmitted on the communication line for a predetermined time period after its startup, and then to select a communication ID to one that does not conflict with any other ID used to communicate through the communication line during the predetermined time period. The selected ID is then transmitted on the communication line.

Claim (Index 18):
A control method of a battery device including a control circuit connected to a plurality of battery monitoring circuits via a communication line, the method comprising:\n starting a battery monitoring circuit upon being supplied with power by a control circuit; with the battery monitoring circuit, monitoring communication signals transmitted through a communication line for a predetermined period after starting of the battery monitoring circuit to obtain communication IDs used for communications through the communication line during the predetermined period by the battery monitoring circuit; with the battery monitoring circuit, selecting a communication ID that does not conflict with any communication ID used for communications through the communication line during the predetermined period; and transmitting information from the battery monitoring circuit through the communication line using the selected communication ID.
