Battery pack
First Claim
1. A battery pack containing a CPU and allowing correction of measured data, wherein said CPU has at least:
- a main program for obtaining data concerning a voltage of each cell, charge/discharge current and temperature by measurement to control charging and discharging and to perform cumulative calculation of a remaining battery capacity;
a communication program for communicating with an external device; and
a correction program for acquiring measured data to obtain a correction factor for calculating a predetermined value from each item of said measured data and for storing said correction factor in a memory;
wherein after a state of each cell has been set to a predetermined value, said correction program is started to obtain a correction factor and to store the correction factor in said memory, and said main program corrects each item of measured data concerning the voltage of each cell, charge/discharge current and temperature by the correction factor to control charging and discharging and to perform cumulative calculation of a remaining battery capacity.

Abstract
A battery pack containing a CPU and allowing correction of measured data is provided. The CPU has, at least, a main program for obtaining data concerning the voltage of each cell, charge/discharge current and temperature by measurement to control charging and discharging and to perform cumulative calculation of the remaining battery capacity, a communication program for communicating with an external device, and a correction program for acquiring measured data to obtain a correction factor for calculating a predetermined value from each item of the measured data and for storing the correction factor in a memory. After the state of each cell has been set to a predetermined value, the correction program is started to obtain a correction factor and to store it in the memory. The main program corrects each item of measured data concerning the cell voltage, charge/discharge current and temperature by the correction factor to control charging and discharging and to perform cumulative calculation of the remaining battery capacity. Thus, it is possible to increase the measurement accuracy even if low-cost members are used, and hence possible to reduce the costs.
