However, the secondary battery is a consumable item, has a limited number of times that it can be repeatedly used by charging and discharging, and has cycle life characteristics. The cycle life is not only governed by the charging and discharging conditions, but is also affected by the storage state, and cannot be expressed simply by the number of times charging and discharging are repeated. That is, the cycle life is an index in a normal storage state or a charging / discharging state, and if the storage state or the charging / discharging state is not normal, deterioration proceeds excessively. For example, when a fully charged secondary battery is stored in a high temperature environment or overcharged or overdischarged, the secondary battery deteriorates in a period shorter than the cycle life.
