SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described above, the resistance Ra
The smoothing circuit composed of the capacitor C and the capacitor C has an operation of removing noise of the device body. In particular, a digitally controlled motor is often used to load the main body of a power assisted bicycle or the like, and this smoothing circuit is indispensable in order to prevent remaining capacity calculation and display malfunction due to motor noise having a high frequency. Further, from the viewpoint of keeping the lighting light amount of the LED constant, the power supply voltage supplied to the LED needs to be obtained from a power supply line via a smoothing circuit and a regulator circuit.
Further, in order to turn on a plurality of LEDs, a current of at least about 5 mA is required for each LED. For this reason,
In addition to the voltage drop of the battery block due to the resistance Ra, LE
When D lights up, the voltage of the battery block further drops. Taking the example of a power assisted bicycle where this effect is noticeable, three LEDs out of four light up,
In other words, even when the remaining capacity of the battery is still sufficient, a large load such as running on a slope is applied to the battery block, and the battery voltage drops significantly. In addition to this, a drop in battery voltage due to the lighting of three LEDs is added. For this reason, the voltage of the battery block becomes lower than the voltage setting value for warning the battery of charge, and the LED may suddenly change from the three lighting states to the blinking charge warning display. As described above, since the charging warning is displayed even though the remaining capacity of the battery is sufficient, there is a problem that unnecessary charging is performed and the battery life is shortened.
