Usually, there are various types of external loads, such as a constant power load, a constant resistance load, and a load that fluctuates periodically, and there is almost no constant current load. Among them, in the case of the constant power load, the current value increases when the battery voltage decreases, whereas in the case of the constant resistance load, the current value decreases when the battery voltage decreases. In the case of a load that fluctuates periodically, for example, a case where the motor is started periodically, the current average value is taken for each cycle or a multiple of the cycle as shown in FIG.

In charging, the charging rate at which switching from constant-current charging to constant-voltage charging depends on the internal impedance and current, and switches from constant-current charging to constant-voltage charging when charging voltage = OCV + R × i. Here, OCV is the open circuit voltage (reference open circuit voltage) of the battery pack, R is the internal impedance of the battery + the impedance of the circuit section, and i is the charging current. FIG. 4 shows these changes. As shown in FIG. 5, the internal impedance of the battery depends on the temperature. The lower the temperature, the lower the temperature, the lower the charging rate. If the reference open-circuit voltage waveform, the internal impedance of the battery, and the impedance of the circuit unit are determined in advance, the point in time at which switching from constant current charging to constant voltage charging can be calculated.
