Battery pack and control method therefor
First Claim
1. A battery pack comprising:
- one or a plurality of cell blocks in which one or a plurality of secondary battery cells are connected at least are of in series and in parallel; and
a control section for measuring a voltage and a charge current of the one or the plurality of cell blocks to detect an abnormality of a cell block on the basis of a measurement result,wherein the control sectioncalculates time differentials of the voltage and the charge current and second-order time differentials of the voltage and the charge current for the one or the plurality of cell blocks on the basis of the measured voltage and charge current;
determines that a cell block is abnormal in a case where the time differential of the voltage is less than a prescribed value, the second-order time differential of the voltage is less than the prescribed value, and the second-order time differential of the charge current is not less than the prescribed value; and
determines that a cell block is abnormal in a case where the time differential of the charge current is more than the prescribed value, the second-order time differential of the charge current is more than the prescribed value, and the second-order time differential of the voltage is not more than the prescribed value.

Abstract
A battery pack includes one or more cell blocks in which one or more secondary battery cells are connected in series and/or in parallel, and a control section for measuring a voltage of the one or more cell blocks to detect an abnormality of a cell block on the basis of a measurement result. The control section calculates a time differential of the voltage for the one or more cell blocks on the basis of the measured voltage, extracts a first time differential which is maximum and a second time differential which is minimum from the time differentials of the voltage for the one or more cell blocks, and determines that a cell block corresponding to the second time differential is abnormal in a case where a difference between the first time differential and the second time differential is less than a prescribed value.
