CONSTITUTION:Frequency of alternating current impedance of a nickel-based battery, for instance, a Ni-Cd battery, is changed and measured. The real number part and the imaginary number part are calculated in regard to the alternating current impedance. A ratio of absolute values of the calculated real number part and the imaginary number part or a phase angle of the alternating current impedance is calculated. The frequency of the calculation ratio of 1/30 or less or the calculation phase angle close enough to zero is selected.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for detecting the deterioration state of a Ni-Cd battery, there is a capacity test method in which a capacity is judged by actually measuring a time until a predetermined current is discharged and reaching a predetermined voltage. . This allows accurate detection of the deteriorated state, but has the drawback of requiring a long time for measurement. Further, if a power failure occurs during measurement, the original purpose of the power cannot be supplied uninterruptibly to the load, resulting in a system or device with poor reliability. Therefore, as a method of solving these drawbacks and simply detecting the deterioration state in a short time, a method of estimating from the measured value of the AC impedance between both electrodes of the battery has been proposed. This method takes advantage of the fact that the AC impedance of the battery has a correlation with the deterioration state. When the Ni-Cd battery deteriorates, the active material decreases and the electrolytic solution disappears. Therefore, the impedance of the active material and the electrolytic solution changes, and the AC impedance increases. Furthermore, the effective area of the electrode plate is reduced and the battery capacity is also reduced.

However, according to this method, it depends on the frequency of the AC power source used for measurement, or the form of the measured AC impedance (real part,
Depending on the imaginary part and the phase angle, there may be no correlation between the AC impedance and the battery capacity, and the deterioration state may not be detected with high accuracy. The reason for this is that at high frequencies, a positive imaginary part is generated in the impedance due to the inductance component caused by the battery structure and the inductance component due to wiring, etc., and the voltage / current waveform to be measured is distorted.
This is because accurate measurement cannot be performed. Also, at low frequencies, the state of ions is influenced by the liquid concentration and the battery voltage, and the negative imaginary part of the impedance changes significantly, so the correlation with the battery capacity becomes low. However, conventionally, the frequency and the form of the AC impedance suitable for detecting the deterioration state have not been clarified, and Ni-

Furthermore, as another type of battery, a battery (hereinafter referred to as a deteriorated model battery) in which the amount of electrolytic solution of a new battery was intentionally reduced was used.

The smaller the real part of the AC impedance, the larger the battery capacity tends to be, and the deterioration has not progressed so much. As shown in the figure, there is a strong correlation (correlation coefficient 0.96) between the real part of the AC impedance and the capacitance.
An exponential function is established between the AC impedance real part and the capacitance, and the real part of the AC impedance exponentially increases as the capacitance decreases.

As shown in the figure, there are batteries with high resistance and no capacity, but it can be seen that in many batteries, as in FIG. 2, there is a strong correlation between the real part of the AC impedance and the capacity.

If the impedance of the Ni-Cd battery is measured and the real part of the impedance is calculated, N
The deterioration state of the i-Cd battery can be detected with high accuracy. In addition,
Although only the real number part of the impedance has been described here, in the present embodiment, the imaginary number part is sufficiently smaller than the real number part, so that the impedance itself can be used as the deterioration state detection method.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the frequency (measurement frequency) of the AC power source at which the measurement point of the battery manufactured by Company A in FIG. 2 was obtained. The measurement point of FIG. The measurement frequency increases as the deterioration occurs in the vicinity and becomes large, and becomes about 2 kHz when the capacity is near 0. Therefore, in this battery, the measurement frequency is about 100 to
At about 2000 Hz, the ratio of the absolute value of the imaginary part and the absolute value of the real part of the AC impedance becomes 1/50 or less.

The cause of this is that, in the high frequency region of several kHz or more, the voltage / current waveform to be measured is distorted and the value of the positive imaginary part is due to the inductance component caused by the structure of the battery and the inductance component due to the wiring. This is because the size becomes large and the measurement standard is not satisfied, and accurate measurement cannot be performed. Also, in the low frequency region of 100 Hz or less, the state of ions depends on the liquid concentration and the battery voltage,
This is because the impedance greatly changes, a negative imaginary part is generated, and the correlation with the capacitance becomes low.

The measurement points of FIG. The measurement frequency increases as the deterioration occurs in the vicinity of 100 Hz and becomes large, and becomes about 2 to 10 kHz when the capacity is near 0, except for some exceptional samples. Therefore, in this battery, the ratio of the absolute value of the imaginary part and the absolute value of the real part of the AC impedance is 1/30 or less at the measurement frequency of about 100 to 10 kHz.

Therefore, with this battery, the measurement frequency is about 60-
At about 1 kHz, the ratio of the absolute value of the imaginary part and the absolute value of the real part of the AC impedance becomes about 1/60 or less.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, as the deterioration becomes larger, the frequency at which the imaginary part becomes smaller rapidly increases. Therefore, if this frequency is used as a means for detecting deterioration, it becomes a highly accurate method for detecting the deterioration state of the Ni-Cd battery.

Also, the fact that the frequency at which the imaginary part becomes smaller greatly differs means that when measuring the impedance of a battery that has deteriorated at the same frequency as when measured without deterioration, the imaginary part of the impedance greatly increases compared to the real part. That's what it means. Therefore, this increase or the ratio of the imaginary part and the real part, that is, the phase can be sufficiently used as the deterioration detecting means.

Furthermore, 60 to 10 in which the above-mentioned measurement standards occur
The impedance measured in the range of about kHz represents the lead resistance and the electrolyte resistance inside the battery.
The correlation is high because it is greatly affected by the disappearance of the electrolytic solution, which is the majority of the deterioration state of the battery. From this result, in the deterioration state detection method of the Ni-Cd battery by the AC impedance method, the absolute value of the imaginary part and the absolute value of the real part of the AC impedance is about 1/30 or less, or the impedance phase is It turns out that it is most effective to measure with an AC power supply having a measurement frequency close to zero. The above invention describes the Ni-Cd battery.
It can also be applied to nickel-based batteries such as H batteries and lithium secondary batteries.
