1. An information processing apparatus included in a discharge source, comprising:

  • a display; and

    circuitry including a processor coupled to a memory and configured toset a candidate discharge amount of at least one first battery that is discharged to at least one second battery of a discharge destination, the at least one first battery being included in the discharge source configured to be driven by using electric power of the at least one first battery,calculate a remaining amount of electric power in the at least one first battery after discharging the at least one first battery by the candidate discharge amount, and calculate a distance travel range from a current location that the discharge source can move per unit of electric power, so that electric power remaining in the at least one first battery allows the discharge source to travel the distance travel range after discharge of the candidate discharge amount,provide, to the display, information about the distance travel range that the discharge source can travel after the candidate discharge amount is discharged from the at least one first battery,receive user input regarding the candidate discharge amount,determine a discharge amount based on the candidate discharge amount and the user input after providing the information to the display, andcause discharge of the discharge source by the discharge amount to the discharge destination based on the user input.
