Battery voltage detection apparatus and detection method
First Claim
1. A voltage detection apparatus for detecting a voltage of at least one battery, comprising:
- capacitor means to which a voltage is applied from the at least one battery and in which an electric charge accumulates;
adjustment means for adjusting potentials at both ends of the capacitor means such that a potential difference between a potential at one end of the capacitor means and a reference potential is less than a potential difference between a potential at one end of the at least one battery and the reference potential, and that a potential difference between a potential at another end of the capacitor means and the reference potential is less than a potential difference between a potential at another end of the at least one battery and the reference potential; and
voltage detection means for detecting a voltage of the at least one battery based on a potential difference between the one end of the capacitor means and the other end of the capacitor means after the potentials of both ends of the capacitor means have been adjusted by the adjustment means.
