Abstract
A battery pack includes a battery module that charges and discharges electricity to be used to drive a vehicle, and a monitoring controller for monitoring charge of the battery module. The monitoring controller stores past charge records and past discharge records in a charge-discharge history. Based on an analysis of learning data of a charge-discharge cycle in the charge-discharge history, the monitoring controller determines a charge operation, which may either be a normal charge or a quick charge, for charging the battery. The normal charge provides a charging electric current per unit time that is less than the charging current per unit time of the quick charge.
