Abstract: A voltage conversion device can selectively switch between and perform voltage control and current control of a voltage conversion unit in a suitable manner in which output characteristics of a power source are reflected. A control unit (10) of the voltage conversion device (1) selectively switches the control mode of the voltage conversion unit (3) to a current control mode or a voltage control mode on the basis of current-voltage characteristics of the power source (2) and performs a control process of each control mode. The power source (2) has current-voltage characteristics such that the output voltage changes according to the output current and such that a rate of change of the output voltage with respect to a change of the output current changes according to the output current.
