2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a power supply system (14V system) equipped with a 12V lead storage battery has been used in automobiles. In the 14V system, a current is supplied (discharged) to a starting device (starter motor) for starting an automobile engine from a 12V lead storage battery, and after the engine is started, a generator operated by the rotational force of the engine is used. A current is constantly supplied (charged) to the 12V lead storage battery. However, the energy at the time of deceleration of the car was consumed as heat. In recent years, instead of 12V lead-acid batteries, 36V
A new power supply system (42V system) equipped with a system lead storage battery has been proposed. In the 42V system, it is possible to use a high-power motor generator as a vehicle starting device for starting an engine of the vehicle, and the motor generator can use the energy that was conventionally consumed as heat during deceleration of the vehicle. It is intended to regenerate (charge) a current into a 36V-based lead-acid battery by converting it into electrical energy as regenerative energy, thereby increasing energy efficiency and improving fuel efficiency of an automobile.

However, the motor generator used in the 42V system has a high output of 3 to 4 kW, and the current value during regeneration is 40 to 80 A (2 to 4 C).
A), but it is difficult for conventional lead-acid batteries to accept such a large current charge. That is, in the lead storage battery, when the charging rate becomes a current value of 1 C or more, the decomposition reaction of water, which is a side reaction at the time of charging, is promoted, and the charging efficiency is reduced, thereby adversely affecting the battery life. In order to solve this, there has been a proposal to control the charging by a constant voltage charging in a region where the side reaction does not occur, but the charging quickly reaches the constant voltage region, and the loss of regenerative energy increases. I will. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a power supply system for a traveling vehicle that can sufficiently and safely receive energy during deceleration of a traveling vehicle such as an automobile as regenerative energy.
