In the power storage device using the electric double-layer capacitor, by providing a parallel monitor as shown in FIG. 6 for all the capacitors connected in series, the terminal voltages of all the capacitors do not exceed the set voltage. Can be protected. Note that a constant-current charging is performed from a charger to a power storage device including capacitors connected in series. However, when the charging voltage, that is, the total voltage of the capacitors connected in series exceeds a predetermined value, the battery is fully charged. Normally, it is determined that charging has been performed, and control is performed in a voltage limiting type so that charging is stopped. By controlling such charging stop, useless charging current is prevented from flowing.
The parallel monitor is provided with a radiator plate large enough for heat generation in case of excessive current flow.

By the way, as long as all the capacitors and the parallel monitor are operating normally, the charging voltage of each capacitor becomes a predetermined value and the parallel monitor is turned on. Until the battery is fully charged, the parallel monitor bypasses the current for a very short time until the charging is stopped, and the transistor of the parallel monitor that bears the bypass current does not generate much heat. However, if a failure occurs for some reason and, for example, a short circuit occurs in one of the three capacitors in series, the charging voltage is limited to two capacitors. Therefore, even when the two capacitors reach a predetermined charging voltage and their parallel monitors start to bypass the charging current, the total voltage of the capacitors does not always rise to a predetermined value, that is, three charging voltages. . Therefore, charging is continued unless there is a function to detect this decrease in full charge voltage and stop charging, so that the parallel monitor attached to a capacitor other than the failed capacitor continues to bypass the current, and the heat generated by the transistor causes the temperature to increase. Will rise abnormally.

Assuming such a condition that occurs very rarely, a method in which a large heat radiating plate is attached to the parallel monitor to prepare for an emergency heat radiation is conventionally adopted.

Of the burden voltage. Under these conditions, the maximum voltage may be set to 70% for safe operation with only the capacitor. However, the amount of power Q that can be stored in the capacitor having the capacitance C at the voltage V is Q = 0.5 CV 2. Therefore, when the voltage V is derated to 70%, the amount of power Q that can be stored is halved to 49%. Would. Therefore, when a parallel monitor is connected, full charge can be monitored for the purpose of charging up to 100% without worry. By connecting a parallel monitor for each capacitor in this way, the power storage efficiency can be maximized,
For example, enclose capacitors of the same lot in the same container,
If elements having extremely small variations in capacitance and leakage current due to individual capacitors can be used under substantially the same temperature condition, one parallel monitor can be connected to a plurality of capacitors at once.

Although the parallel monitor can protect the voltage between the terminals at both ends from exceeding a set value, when a plurality of capacitors are connected in series, there is no relation to the voltage distribution of each capacitor. The voltage distribution of each capacitor depends on the above-mentioned characteristics of each capacitor, the capacitance, the variation of the leakage current, and the sum of the temperature, aging, and the like. If these are suppressed to a certain range by quality control, the variation in the voltage applied to each capacitor can be controlled within the range.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the temperature sensor is mounted on the heat radiating plate of the parallel monitor for bypassing the charging current for the capacitor battery storing the power by charging. When the value reaches the value, the charging current is reduced to a small current or charging is stopped. Therefore, even if the heat sink is made smaller, deterioration and burning of the transistor due to failure of the capacitor battery or the like can be avoided. Therefore,
By reducing the size of the heat sink, the size and weight of the parallel monitor can be reduced, and the installation space can be saved.
