Power supply system and portable equipment using the same
First Claim
1. A power supply system for supplying portable equipment with electric power, comprising:
- a notification portion;
a power supply for feeding at least the notification portion, the power supply including a lithium-ion secondary battery;
a temperature detection portion for detecting a temperature of the power supply;
a voltage detection portion for detecting a voltage of the power supply;
a memory portion for storing a first temperature, a first voltage and a second voltage that is smaller than the first voltage; and
a forced discharge portion for recognizing an abnormality of the power supply when the temperature of the power supply detected by the temperature detection portion is not lower than the first temperature and the voltage of the power supply detected by the voltage detection portion is not lower than the first voltage in a state in which a power feed from the power supply to the portable equipment is off, for electrifying the notification portion by the power supply, for making the notification portion notify a message indicating that the abnormality is being avoided, and for forcedly discharging the power supply until the voltage of the power supply detected by the voltage detection portion reaches the second voltage.

Abstract
A power supply system for portable apparatus comprising a power supply, i.e. a lithium ion secondary battery, a section for detecting the temperature of the power supply, a section for detecting the voltage of the power supply, a storage section, and a forced discharge section. The storage section stores the control operating temperature, the control operating voltage, and the control termination voltage. The forced discharge section recognizes a state that the temperature of the power supply is not lower than the control operation temperature and the voltage of the power supply is not lower than the control operation voltage as a fault of the power supply. An indicating section is electrified from the power supply and a message to the effect that the system is avoiding abnormality is indicated by the indicating section. Furthermore, the power supply is discharged forcedly until the voltage of the power supply reaches the control termination voltage.
