Abstract

A secondary battery system according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises: an electric load connected to a secondary battery; and a control device which, in an SOC-dV/dQ curve in which the dV/dQ that is the differential value of the change amount dV of the voltage V of the secondary battery with respect to the change amount dQ of the capacity Q of the secondary battery is plotted with respect to the charged state (SOC) expressed as a percentage of the capacity Q with respect to the fully charged capacity of the secondary battery, when at least one peak top SOC range including the peak top charge rate is set, and charging or discharging stops in the peak top SOC range, discharges the secondary battery by the electric load to avoid the peak top SOC range and ends charging or discharging of the secondary battery.

Claims (8)

1 . A secondary battery system comprising:

a secondary battery having an electrode assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are layered with a separator therebetween, and a non-aqueous electrolyte;

an electric load connected to the secondary battery; and

a control device that completes, when a plurality of peak top state of charge (SOC) ranges, each of which peak top SOC ranges includes a SOC which is a peak top, are set on an SOC-dV/dQ curve on which dV/dQ, which is a differential value of an amount of change dV of a voltage V of the secondary battery with respect to an amount of change dQ of a capacity Q of the secondary battery, is plotted against the SOC which is expressed as a percentage of the capacity Q with respect to a capacity of the secondary battery in a fully charged state, and when charging or discharging is to be stopped in any one of the plurality of peak top SOC ranges, the charging or the discharging of the secondary battery while avoiding the plurality of peak top SOC ranges by discharging the secondary battery with the electric load.

2 . A secondary battery system comprising:

a secondary battery having an electrode assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are layered with a separator therebetween, and a non-aqueous electrolyte;

an auxiliary battery connected to the secondary battery; and

a control device that completes, when a plurality of peak top state of charge (SOC) ranges, each of which peak top SOC ranges includes a SOC which is a peak top, are set on an SOC-dV/dQ curve on which dV/dQ, which is a differential value of an amount of change dV of a voltage V of the secondary battery with respect to an amount of change dQ of a capacity Q of the secondary battery, is plotted against the SOC which is expressed as a percentage of the capacity Q with respect to a capacity of the secondary battery in a fully charged state, and when charging or discharging is to be stopped in any one of the plurality of peak top SOC ranges, the charging or the discharging of the secondary battery while avoiding the plurality of peak top SOC ranges by charging the secondary battery with the auxiliary battery.
