    摘要: There is provided a laser welding device that welds an object to be welded including two or more conductors contacting each other. The laser welding device includes: a welding laser irradiation unit that faces a first face of the object, the welding laser irradiation unit welding the object by irradiating the object with laser light; and a preheating device preheating the object. The preheating device includes a first electrode including a first contact part contacting the first face, and a second electrode including a second contact part contacting a second face of the object, the second face being on an opposite side to the first face. The preheating device heats at least part of the object by heat generated when a current flows in the object via the first electrode and the second electrode.

    摘要: An auxiliary device battery sensor measures current and voltage of an auxiliary device battery. On the basis of a peak value and frequency of current measured by the auxiliary device battery sensor at a time when the current and the voltage of the auxiliary device battery change in accordance with requirements of a load, a monitoring ECU sets a waveform for measurement that is for measuring resistance of the auxiliary device battery. Further, the monitoring ECU controls a DDC that is connected to the auxiliary device battery, such that a waveform of the current of the auxiliary device battery becomes the waveform for measurement. The monitoring ECU estimates resistance of the auxiliary device battery on the basis of current and voltage measured by the auxiliary device battery sensor at a time of controlling the DDC.
