    Abstract: A battery replacement apparatus includes a drive device (drive unit), a processor (controller) that controls the drive device, and a communication unit that acquires, through communication, information about an electric vehicle and a battery (first battery). The processor adjusts a position of the drive device based on the information that is acquired through the communication unit, and performs control of replacing the battery with a battery (second battery) by controlling the drive device whose position is adjusted.

    Abstract: A battery replacement apparatus includes a detection device that detects position and orientation of a battery (first battery), a battery mount where a battery (second battery) is placed, the battery mount being capable of being raised, and an adjuster that adjusts position and orientation of the battery that is placed on the battery mount. The battery mount allows the battery to be attached to a vehicle body from below the vehicle body, by being raised below the vehicle body in a state where the battery is placed on the battery mount. The adjuster adjusts the position and the orientation of the battery placed on the battery mount, based on the position and the orientation of the battery detected by the detection device.

    Abstract: A battery replacement apparatus replaces a first battery attached to a vehicle body of an electrically powered vehicle with a charged second battery. The battery replacement apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires, based on a fact that a size of the second battery is specified, size information indicating the specified size; a mounting table that moves relative to the vehicle body, with the second battery mounted on the mounting table, for attaching the second battery of the specified size to the vehicle body; and an adjustment unit that adjusts, based on the size information, a mount position where the second battery is mounted on the mounting table.

    Abstract: A battery replacement apparatus includes a detection device (detector) that detects position and orientation of a battery (first battery), a battery mount where the battery that is removed from an electric vehicle is placed, the battery mount being driven below the electric vehicle, and a processor (controller) that controls driving of the battery mount. The processor controls position and orientation of the battery mount based on the position and the orientation of the battery detected by the detection device. Furthermore, the processor performs control of removing the battery from the electric vehicle, in a state where the position and the orientation of the battery mount are controlled.
