SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-176 is disclosed.
In the device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 333, when the cycle of discharging the battery to a certain level and thereafter fully charging the battery is repeated, the battery life can be accurately determined. Could not be determined accurately. The device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-218567 has a disadvantage that the determination can be made only when a load is connected to the battery. In addition, although it is not clear in this publication, generally, when determining the degree of deterioration based on the discharge capacity at the time of discharging, the current consumption of the load is not constant, so that the fluctuating voltage and current are always measured. However, a complicated calculation of multiplying the product of the two was required.

Before describing the operation of the determination section 15 in detail, general battery deterioration will be described. The degree of battery deterioration basically corresponds to the degree of decrease in discharge capacity. This is because the discharge capacity means the ability to supply power to the load. Generally, when the discharge capacity decreases to a predetermined ratio (for example, 70%) as compared with the initial state of the battery, it is considered that the degree of deterioration has reached a limit, that is, the life has expired. Note that the expiration of the battery life does not mean that the battery is not actually usable, but means that it is time to replace the battery, and the battery can be used for a while.

In the case of a battery using an acid or alkaline aqueous solution as an electrolyte, such as a lead battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, and a nickel-hydrogen battery, charging and discharging are performed by an oxidation-reduction reaction between the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte. When the charge and discharge cycle is repeated, deterioration of the electrode (generation of an inactivating substance) and deterioration due to electrolysis of the electrolytic solution (decrease in electric conductivity) are inevitable. Therefore, as the number of charge / discharge cycles increases, the charge capacity and the discharge capacity also decrease. FIG. 4 shows how the charge capacity and the discharge capacity of the battery using the aqueous electrolyte decrease. As is clear from this figure, as the number of charge / discharge cycles increases, the charge / discharge efficiency (= discharge capacity / discharge capacity /
Charging capacity) also decreases. In addition, when the charge / discharge cycle is performed irregularly, the way of decreasing the charge / discharge efficiency is not constant (there is no fixed relation between the charge capacity and the discharge capacity). Therefore, when determining the degree of deterioration, it is required to detect the discharge capacity or discharge characteristics.

On the other hand, in the case of a lithium ion battery (a battery using a non-aqueous electrolyte), charge and discharge are performed only by the movement of lithium ions between the anode and the cathode. No deterioration occurs due to the electrolysis of the electrolytic solution, and a decrease in ionic conductivity due to electrolysis is basically not caused by the organic solvent. However, since lithium ions reach the electrodes and metallic lithium precipitates, and the total number of lithium ions decreases, the charge capacity and the discharge capacity decrease by repeating the charge / discharge cycle.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of a lithium ion battery, the charge capacity and the discharge capacity are almost the same, so that the charge / discharge efficiency is maintained at a substantially constant value until the end of life.

The present inventor pays attention to the deterioration characteristics of the lithium ion battery due to charge and discharge, and monitors the charge capacity having a certain relation with the discharge capacity instead of the discharge capacity to determine the degree of deterioration. Specifically, the life is determined by detecting a voltage change at the time of constant current charging or a current change at the time of constant voltage charging that exactly corresponds to the charging capacity.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lithium ion battery 1
The method of changing the inter-terminal voltage and the charging current during charging differs between the initial state of the battery (shown by a solid line) and the state of advanced battery deterioration (shown by a broken line). When the battery is charged with the constant current Ic in the first charging step, if the battery is deteriorating, the charging capacity is reduced, and the voltage rises faster (the slope becomes steeper). When the battery is charged with the constant voltage Vc in the second charging step, the degree of decrease in the charging current increases in the case of a battery whose deterioration degree has advanced.
