BATTERY CAPACITY DISPLAY APPARATUS AND BATTERY CAPACITY DISPLAY METHOD
First Claim
1. A battery capacity display apparatus comprising:
- a full charge capacity sensing section configured to sense a full charge capacity of a battery;
a residual capacity sensing section configured to sense a residual capacity of the battery;
a displaying section configured to display the full charge capacity sensed by the full charge capacity sensing section, and the residual capacity sensed by the residual capacity sensing section, respectively, as a full charge capacity display value and a residual capacity display value;
a charge state sensing section configured to sense a charge state of the battery;
a correction section configured to correct the full charge capacity display value and/or the residual capacity display value which are displayed in the displaying section; and
a control section configured to display, in the displaying section, a corrected full charge capacity display value and/or a corrected residual capacity display value when the correction section corrects the full charge capacity display value and/or the residual capacity display value,the correction section being configuredto compare the full charge capacity and the residual capacity in the full charge state when the charge state sensing section judges that the battery is in the full charge state, andto correct the full charge capacity display value and/or the residual capacity display value which are displayed in the displaying section so as to decrease a difference between the full charge capacity display value and the residual capacity display value when the correction section judges that the full charge capacity and the residual capacity in the full charge state are different from each other.
