BATTERY CHARGE/DISCHARGE CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A battery charge/discharge control apparatus for controlling charge/discharge of a battery in a vehicle comprising the battery serving as a motive power source for driving the vehicle, an inverter which performs conversion between a DC current and an AC current, a drive motor which is driven by electric power supplied from the battery through the inverter and transmits a driving force to driving wheels, and a power generation motor which is rotated by an engine to generate electric power and supplies the generated electric power to the battery through the inverter, the battery charge/discharge control apparatus comprising:
- a battery control portion which is provided for controlling charge/discharge of the battery;
a vehicle control portion which controls the inverter and the engine and controls the charge/discharge of the battery based on information from the battery control portion;
a failure determination portion which determines whether there is a failure in the battery control portion or not; and
an inverter driving state detection portion which detects a driving state of the inverter;
wherein;
the vehicle control portion controls the charge/discharge of the battery based on the driving state of the inverter detected by the inverter driving state detection portion when the failure determination portion determines that there is a failure in the battery control portion.
