2. Description of the Related Art A secondary battery has such a property that it can be charged and discharged within a preferable range and used effectively for a long period of time without deteriorating its performance. However, when overcharged or overdischarged, the electrical performance is significantly reduced. For this reason, if the operating environment is poor, the life of the battery is significantly shortened. In order to effectively prevent this adverse effect at all, the secondary battery being charged and discharged detects the temperature in addition to the battery voltage. If charging and discharging are controlled using the detected voltage and temperature as parameters, the device can be used in a more ideal environment. When the battery is fully charged, the charging current is no longer used for charging and is internally converted to heat.
Therefore, when fully charged, the battery temperature increases. Also,
Abnormal batteries, such as short-circuit batteries and inactive batteries, also have a rise in temperature due to heat generation due to the charging current not being used effectively for charging.
Therefore, an abnormal battery can be identified based on the battery temperature, or full charge can be detected. For example, if the battery temperature is 60
Battery that is higher than ℃ is judged as abnormal battery, or
It is determined that the battery is fully charged, the charge / discharge current is cut off, and the battery can be used safely. However, since the battery temperature is affected by the outside air temperature, the state of the battery is not always the same even if the battery temperature is the same as 60 ° C. This is because the battery temperature decreases when the outside air temperature is low.

For this reason, the method of identifying an abnormal battery based on the battery temperature or controlling the charge / discharge cannot control the charge / discharge in an ideal state depending on the outside air temperature. To solve this problem, a method has been developed in which the rate of change of the battery temperature with respect to time, that is, δT / δt, is detected to control the charge and discharge of the battery (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-14028).
No. 2). As described in this publication, δT / δt
Is controlled by using as a parameter, the influence of the outside air temperature is small, and charge and discharge can be performed in a more ideal state.

However, this method cannot always charge and discharge the battery in an ideal environment.
In particular, in an application such as a battery mounted on an automobile, in which the charged / discharged current varies greatly, the change in δT / δt makes it impossible to charge / discharge the battery in an environment near ideal. A battery mounted on an automobile has a large change in charge / discharge current depending on the running state of the automobile. For example, when regenerative braking is performed by sudden braking, the battery is charged with a large current. further,
When regeneratively braking down a steep hill, the battery is charged for a long time with a large current. In this state, the braking force by the regenerative braking is proportional to the charging current of the battery. Since the braking force needs to be controlled to an ideal state for driving the vehicle, when the braking force is determined, the charging current of the battery is specified. Therefore, in this state, the charging current cannot be controlled to be large or small.
Further, a large current flows through the battery even when the vehicle is suddenly accelerated. This is because the output of the battery is increased to increase the driving force of the motor. As described above, when the charge / discharge current is specified in the usage environment of the battery, even if δT / δt is detected, it becomes impossible to accurately identify the full charge or abnormality of the battery.
This is because when the charging current increases, not only full charge and battery abnormality, but also δT / δt increases. Therefore,
Even if δT / δt of the battery becomes larger than the set value, the battery is not always fully charged or abnormal.

As the temperature sensor 11, a PTC, a thermistor, a varistor, or the like, which is an element whose electric resistance changes with temperature, can be used. In the PTC, when the battery temperature becomes higher than the set temperature, the electric resistance sharply increases, so that the temperature change can be accurately detected in a temperature range where the battery temperature becomes the set temperature. The PTC can accurately detect a temperature change of any one battery even in a circuit configuration in which a plurality of batteries are connected in series. When any PTC is heated to the set temperature,
This is because the electric resistance of the PTC rapidly increases, and the electric resistance of all the PTCs connected in series increases. The thermistors and varistors that can be used for temperature sensors change their electrical resistance in a nearly linear state over the entire temperature range. Therefore, when these temperature sensors are used, a temperature change of the battery can be accurately detected in a wide temperature range.

When the charge / discharge control circuit 4 increases the discharge current of the battery group 1, the output of the motor 2 increases, and the horsepower for running the automobile increases. When the vehicle performs regenerative braking, the charge / discharge control circuit 4 uses the motor 2 as a generator, or the generator 3 provided separately from the motor 2 uses the battery group 1

The battery controller 6 calculates the electric quantity q of the battery group 1 inputted from the electric quantity computing circuit 8 and the temperature inputted from the temperature sensor 11 to obtain a rate of change of the temperature with respect to the electric quantity, that is, δT / δq is calculated. Battery is
When charging / discharging in the range where the remaining capacity is 20 to 80%,
The amount of heat generated inside the battery is proportional to the product of the internal resistance of the battery and the amount of electricity. The internal heat of the battery raises the temperature of the battery. For this reason, the temperature rise of the battery is specified by using the calorific value as a parameter. Since the amount of electricity that charges and discharges the battery specifies the amount of heat generated, and the amount of heat generated determines the temperature rise of the battery, the amount of electricity specifies the temperature rise of the battery. In a normal battery, the temperature rise of the battery with respect to the amount of electricity, that is, δT / δq falls within a predetermined range. When the battery enters the overcharge region or the overdischarge region, the temperature rises rapidly due to abnormal heat generation due to gas absorption or gas generation, or the temperature rises due to an internal short circuit or abnormal heat generation due to an inert battery. In this state, abnormal heat generation is added to the heat generated by the internal resistance, and the temperature rise of the battery increases.
Even if the amount of electricity charged and discharged is the same, the temperature rise of the battery increases. Therefore, the battery controller 6 can identify the abnormal battery by comparing the rate of change of the temperature with respect to the amount of electricity, that is, δT / δq, with the set value. Also, since δT / δq increases even when the battery is fully charged, δT / δ
Full charge can be identified by q.

When the battery is fully charged, the battery voltage increases. Therefore, comparing the battery voltage with the set voltage, detecting that the battery voltage is higher than the set voltage and that δT / δq is higher than the set value, determining that the battery is fully charged,
The remaining capacity calculated by integrating current values to be charged and discharged can be corrected to full charge. Furthermore, even when the battery is discharged in a state where the remaining capacity is low and the battery is completely discharged, δT / δ
q increases. This is because heat generated due to gas generated inside the battery increases. Therefore, when the battery voltage is compared with the set voltage and the battery voltage is lower than the set voltage and δT / δq becomes larger than the set value, it is determined that the battery is completely discharged, and the calculation is performed. The remaining capacity can be corrected.
