METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING DETERIORATION OF SECONDARY BATTERY, AND POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A method for estimating a deterioration level or a discharge capability of a battery by comparing an impedance of the battery with a predetermined allowable range thereof, the method comprising:
- measuring a current and a voltage of the battery;
calculating an impedance Za of the battery from the measured current value and the measured voltage value and calculating a superimposed DC component IDCa from the measured current value; and
estimating an impedance Zb of the case when a reference direct current IDCb value is superimposed, from the calculated impedance Za value and the calculated superimposed DC component IDCa value, based on a predetermined relational expression between a superimposed direct current IDC and a impedance Z so as to determine the deterioration level or a discharge capability of the battery.

Abstract
A method for detecting SOC and SOH of a storage battery includes: calculating an SOC value of the storage battery with use of an SOC calculation unit based on a measured voltage value or a measured current value of the storage battery and calculating an SOH value of the storage battery with use of an SOH calculation unit based on the SOC value; further calculating a new SOC value with use of the SOC calculation unit based on the SOH value and calculating a new SOH value with use of the SOH calculation unit based on the new SOC value, these further calculations of SOC value and SOH value being repeated a prescribed n times of at least one so as to obtain an nth calculated SOC value and an nth calculated SOH value; outputting the nth calculated SOH value as an SOH output value and outputting the nth calculated SOH value as an SOC output value; and storing the SOH output value into a memory.
