This lithium ion storage battery is charged and discharged by the movement of lithium ions in the electrolyte between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, compared to nickel-cadmium storage batteries that have been widely used as secondary batteries in the past. There are advantages such as high energy density.

Connected to the output terminal, connecting a connection point between the resistor R 12 and the resistor R 13 to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 3. Furthermore, the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 3 is grounded through a resistor R 14. Then, a signal obtained at the output terminal of the operational amplifier 3 is output from the charging signal output terminal 4 as V OUT . In this case, the operational amplifier 3 has the power supply voltage + Vcc
And -Vcc.
