CHARGING AND DISCHARGING METHOD FOR LITHIUM ION SECONDARY BATTERIES AND CHARGING AND DISCHARGING SYSTEM FOR THE SAME
First Claim
1. A charging and discharging method for lithium ion secondary batteries having a manganese positive electrode material, the method comprising the steps of:
- causing a computer to store a preset first threshold that is lower than a progressively deteriorating SOC that is an SOC in which battery performance of said lithium ion secondary battery deteriorates when the lithium ion secondary battery is stored and to store a preset second threshold that is greater than said progressively deteriorating SOC;
causing said computer to control a switch provided between electric wires and said lithium ion secondary battery, an electric power supply source that supplies electric power necessary to charge said lithium ion secondary battery and a load that consumes electric power discharged from said lithium ion secondary battery that is connected to said electric wires, such that a charging operation for said lithium ion secondary battery is continued from said first threshold to said second threshold when said lithium ion secondary battery is charged based on a value of the SOC of said lithium ion secondary battery, the value of the SOC being transmitted from a monitor device that detects the value of the SOC of said lithium ion secondary battery; and
causing said computer to control said switch such that a discharging operation for said lithium ion secondary battery is continued from said second threshold to said first threshold when said lithium ion secondary battery is discharged.

Abstract
A first threshold that is lower than a progressively deteriorating SOC that is an SOC in which a battery performance of the lithium ion secondary battery deteriorates when the lithium ion secondary battery is stored and a second threshold that is greater than the progressively deteriorating SOC are preset. A computer controls a switch provided between electric wires and the lithium ion secondary battery, an electric power supply source that supplies electric power necessary to charge the lithium ion secondary battery and a load that consumes electric power discharged from the lithium ion secondary battery are connected to the electric wires, such that a charging operation for the lithium ion secondary battery is continued from the first threshold to the second threshold when the lithium ion secondary battery is charged based on value of the SOC of the lithium ion secondary battery, the value of the SOC is transmitted from a monitor device that detects the value of the SOC of the lithium ion secondary battery and that controls the switch such that a discharging operation for the lithium ion secondary battery is continued from the second threshold to the first threshold when the lithium ion secondary battery is discharged.
