Abstract

A battery voltage detection device includes a battery; a voltage detection circuit; and a low-pass filter provided between the battery and the voltage detection circuit. The low-pass filter includes a capacitor of which one end is connected to a terminal of the battery and the other end is connected to a voltage source outputting a voltage higher than a terminal voltage of the battery.

Claims (10)

1. A battery voltage detection device comprising:

a battery;

a voltage detection circuit; and

a low-pass filter provided between the battery and the voltage detection circuit,

wherein the low-pass filter includes a capacitor of which one end is connected to a terminal of the battery and the other end is connected to a voltage source outputting a voltage higher than a terminal voltage of the battery;

wherein the battery is a battery pack in which a plurality of unit batteries are connected in series with each other;

wherein the low-pass filter is provided for each of the unit batteries, and

wherein each of the other ends of the capacitors is connected to the voltage source via a reference voltage source outputting a voltage obtained by adding a predetermined voltage to a terminal voltage of the unit battery corresponding thereto.

2. The battery voltage detection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein some of the other ends of the capacitors are connected to the voltage source via the reference voltage source and the others of the other ends of the capacitors are grounded.
