Charging-Control Apparatus and Charging-Control Method
First Claim
1. A charging control apparatus that controls a state of charge of a secondary battery installed in a vehicle by a regulator possessed by an alternator, the charging control apparatus comprising:
- a calculating unit that calculates an SOC indicating a state of charge of the secondary battery;
a determining unit that performs determination of whether the SOC calculated in the calculating unit is greater than a predetermined threshold; and
a controlling unit that controls the regulator in such a manner that, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the SOC is greater than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a low state, and in a case where it is determined that the SOC is less than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a high state.

Abstract
A charging control apparatus controls a state of charge of a secondary battery installed in a vehicle by a regulator possessed by an alternator. The charging control apparatus includes a calculating unit that calculates an SOC indicating a state of charge of the secondary battery, a determining unit that performs determination of whether the SOC calculated in the calculating unit is greater than a predetermined threshold, and a controlling unit that controls the regulator in such a manner that, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the SOC is greater than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a low state, and in a case where it is determined that the SOC is less than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a high state.

6. A charging control method that controls a state of charge of a secondary battery installed in a vehicle by a regulator possessed by an alternator, the charging control method comprising:
-
calculating an SOC indicating a state of charge of the secondary battery; performing determination of whether the SOC calculated in the calculating unit is greater than a predetermined threshold; and controlling the regulator in such a manner that, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the SOC is greater than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a low state and, in a case where it is determined that the SOC is less than the predetermined threshold, a power generation voltage of the alternator comes to a high state.
