Abstract: Cell selection circuit includes a plurality of first wiring switches, and that selectively connect one of both ends of a selected cell to first wiring and at least one second wiring switch that selectively connects the other end of both the ends of the selected cell to second wiring. Clamp circuit includes clamp switches for forming a closed loop including inductor in a state where cell selection circuit does not select any cell. Controller turns on all of a plurality of switching elements forming a discharge path after the clamp state is ended, and then turns on a part of a plurality of switching elements constituting clamp switch before the state is switched to a next clamp state.

Abstract: Cell selection circuit is provided between n cells connected in series, where n is an integer of 2 or more, and inductor, and is provided at both ends of the selected cell and both ends of inductor can be conductive. Clamp circuit includes at least one clamp switch for forming a closed loop including inductor in a state where cell selection circuit does not select any cells. Current detection circuit detects the value of the current flowing through inductor. Low-pass filter band-limits the detection value. Overcurrent detection circuit activates the protection of inductor when the band-limited detection value exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: Controller (12) of power storage pack (10) communicates with controller (32) of electric moving body (30) in a state where power storage pack (10) is mounted to the electric moving body. Communication wiring (Lc1) connects a node of power line (Lp1) on power source terminal (Tp) side relative to first switch (RYp) and controller (12) of power storage pack (10). Overvoltage protection circuit (19) turns off second switch (SWc) inserted into communication wiring (Lc1) upon detecting an overvoltage of power line (Lp1) during communication between controller (12) of power storage pack (10) and controller (32) of the electric moving body.

Abstract: The controller controls a cell selection circuit to electrically connect both ends of a cell to be discharged among n cells connected in series and both ends of the inductor for a predetermined time. Next, the controller controls the cell selection circuit to electrically cut off the n cells and the inductor, and turn on the clamp switch. Next, the controller turns off the clamp switch, and controls the cell selection circuit to electrically connect both ends of a cell to be charged among the n cells and both ends of the inductor for a predetermined time.

Abstract: A third relay switches between an output of a first AC power source fed via a first relay and an output of a second AC power source fed via a second relay, and supplies the output after the switching to a load. A welding detection unit detects welding of the first relay. In order to switch the output of the first AC power source to the output of the second AC power source and supply the output of the second AC power source to the load, a power source switching control unit switches the first relay from the closed state to the open state, switches the third relay so as to select and feed the output of the second AC power source, and then prohibits switching of the second relay from the open state to the closed state until a first-relay welding detection processing by the welding detection unit is completed.

Abstract: An obtainer obtains travel data of an electric vehicle. A predictor predicts a failure due to aging in a drive circuit of a motor which drives a driving wheel of the electric vehicle, based on the travel data of the electric vehicle. The travel data includes position data of the electric vehicle and data relating to power consumption of the electric vehicle. The predictor predicts the failure due to aging in the drive circuit based on a change in an increase of power consumption generated when the electric vehicle travels a same route.

Abstract: A first power storage pack wiredly transmits identification information retained in the first power storage pack to a charging device when the first power storage pack is detached from an electric movable body. The charging device wiredly transmits the identification information received from the first power storage pack to a second power storage pack. The controller of the second power storage pack transmits via near-field communication a signal including the identification information received from the charging device. The electric movable body collates whether or not the identification information included in the received signal matches the identification information retained in the first power storage pack.

Abstract: An equalization circuit includes a cell selection circuit that is provided between n cells and an inductor, and that can electrically connect both ends of any cell of the n cells to both ends of the inductor. An energy holding-consuming circuit can form a closed loop including the inductor when the cell selection circuit does not select any cell. The energy holding-consuming circuit also can form a closed loop of a first pattern with a small resistance component of the closed loop and a closed loop of a second pattern with a large resistance component of the closed loop.

Abstract: A heater heats a battery. A voltage measurement unit measures a voltage of the battery. A temperature measurement unit measures a temperature of the battery. A controller determines that the measured temperature of the battery, which is measured by the temperature measurement unit, is a temperature at which the heater is started, and controls a heating amount from the heater to the battery adaptively according to a voltage difference between the measured voltage during discharging of the battery and a reference voltage, based on the measured temperature of the battery. For instance, the controller increases the heating amount as a voltage difference between a discharging lower limit voltage and the measured voltage during low-temperature discharging of the battery becomes small.
