First Claim
1. A method for detecting the state of a secondary battery, comprising:
- (a) a step of acquiring a plurality of data sets associating a current flowing through the secondary battery with a terminal voltage of the secondary battery corresponding to that current, wherein the plurality of data sets include (i) first data sets including first current data for the current in a charging direction and (ii) second data sets including second current data for the current in a discharging direction;
(b) a step of making the plurality of data sets valid when specific selection conditions are satisfied;
(c) a step of performing first statistical processing using the plurality of data sets including both the first data sets and the second data sets acquired during both charging and discharging, and calculating a first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions from the slope of a first linear approximation obtained by the first statistical processing;
(d) a step of performing second statistical processing using first data sets acquired during charging, and calculating a second value of internal resistance in the charging direction from the slope of a second linear approximation obtained by the second statistical processing; and
(e) a step of calculating a calculated value of internal resistance of the secondary battery based on the first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions and the second value of internal resistance in the charging direction.

Abstract
Based on a plurality of valid data sets from a data set selection portion, an internal-resistance-during-charging calculation portion calculates the value Rc of internal resistance during charging from the slope of a voltage-current linear approximation during charging, and an internal-resistance-during-charging-and-discharging calculation portion calculates the value Rcd of internal resistance during charging and discharging from the slope of a voltage-current linear approximation during charging and discharging. A judgment portion compares the absolute value ΔR of the difference between Rcd and Rc that has been calculated by a difference computation portion with a first predetermined value ΔRT1, and when ΔR≦ΔRT1 is satisfied, the judgment portion outputs Rcd or Rc, whichever is smaller, as the value of internal resistance of a secondary battery.

7. A device for detecting the state of a secondary battery, comprising:
-
a current measurement portion that measures the current flowing through the secondary battery as current data; a voltage measurement portion that measures the terminal voltage of the secondary battery as voltage data; a data set selection portion that acquires a plurality of data sets comprising the current data from the current measurement portion and the voltage data from the voltage measurement portion that corresponds to the current data, and that outputs the plurality of data sets as valid data sets when specific selection conditions are satisfied, wherein the plurality of data sets include (i) first data sets that include first current data for the current in a charging direction and (ii) second data sets including second current data for the current in the discharging direction; an internal-resistance-during-charging-and-discharging calculation portion that performs statistical processing on the plurality of data sets including the valid first data sets and the valid second data sets acquired during both charging and discharging, and calculating a first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions from the slope of a linear approximation obtained by the statistical processing; an internal-resistance-during-charging calculation portion that performs statistical processing using the valid first data sets acquired during charging, and calculating a second value of internal resistance in the charging direction from the slope of a linear approximation obtained by the statistical processing; a difference computation portion that calculates an absolute value of the difference between the first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions and the second value of internal resistance in the charging direction, and that also outputs a signal indicating the magnitude correlation between the first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions and the second value of internal resistance in the charging direction; and a judgment portion that judges whether or not the absolute value of the difference from the difference computation portion is equal to or less than a first predetermined value, and that outputs the first value of internal resistance in both the charging and discharging directions or the second value of internal resistance in the charging direction, whichever is smaller, as a calculated value of internal resistance of the secondary battery when the absolute value of the difference is equal to or less than the first predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
