Battery testing device and battery testing method
First Claim
1. A battery testing device that charges a chargeable secondary battery by using a charging module, comprising:
- an input control module that controls an input power that the charging module inputs to the secondary battery;
an output control module that controls an output power that is output from the secondary battery and discharges the secondary battery;
a temperature adjustment device configured to heat and cool the secondary battery, the temperature adjustment device configured to increase the temperature of the secondary battery from a first temperature of about 50°
C. to a second temperature of about 150°
C. for a period of about 3 hours when a battery capacity of the secondary battery falls below a threshold,wherein the temperature adjustment device judges whether the temperature of the secondary battery rises to 160°
C. or more while performing adjustment to hold the temperature of the secondary battery at the second temperature, and displays a result of the judgment on an external device,wherein the input control module and the output control module are configured to cyclically perform a plurality of charge/discharge cycles, andeach charge/discharge cycle includes;
when the secondary battery reaches a fully charged state, the output control module starts discharging the secondary battery while the input control module stops charging the secondary battery using the charging module, andwhen the secondary battery reaches a predetermined charged state, the input control module starts charging the secondary battery using the charging module while the output control module stops discharging the secondary battery.

Abstract
The present invention applies load to a portable telephone by charging and discharging a secondary battery conforming to the actual way of use of the portable telephone, so that the performance of the secondary battery in a portable telephone connected for charging can be accurately tested. A battery testing device of the present invention has: a charge control circuit for controlling input power which is input to a lithium ion battery via an AC adapter; and a radio circuit for controlling output power which is output from the lithium ion battery and discharging the lithium ion battery, wherein when the lithium ion battery reaches a fully charged state, the radio circuit starts discharging while the charge control circuit stops charge of the lithium ion battery using the AC adapter, and when the lithium ion battery reaches a predetermined charged state, the charge control circuit starts charge of the lithium ion battery using the AC adapter while the radio circuit stops discharge of the lithium ion battery.
