Abstract

A management device is a management device that: manages batteries; receives a first battery; and supplies a second battery. The management device includes an obtaining portion that obtains, from the first battery, first identification information stored in the first battery. The management device includes an authenticating portion that authenticates a user of the first battery by using the first identification information the obtaining portion has obtained. The management device includes a writing portion that, if the authenticating portion authenticates the user, writes the first identification information to the second battery that is to be supplied to the user.
