Storage battery management system, moving body, storage battery, and storage battery management method

A moving body that manages a state of a plurality of storage batteries that are detachably mounted, the moving body comprising:

• an activation signal generation unit configured to generate an activation signal for setting an available state with respect to a mounted storage battery;
• a management unit configured to associate identification information of the mounted storage battery with a storage battery management unit of the mounted storage battery that has received the activation signal;
• a first activation signal transmission line configured to electrically connect a storage battery management unit of a first storage battery among the plurality of storage batteries and the activation signal generation unit with each other;
• a second activation signal transmission line configured to electrically connect a storage battery management unit of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery among the plurality of storage batteries and the activation signal generation unit with each other, the second activation signal transmission line being different from the first activation signal transmission line;
• a first signal transmission line configured to electrically connect the storage battery management unit of the first storage battery and the management unit with each other;
• a second signal transmission line configured to electrically connect the storage battery management unit of the second storage battery and the management unit with each other, the second signal transmission line being different from the first signal transmission line;
• and
• a drive unit configured to be driven by electric power from the mounted storage battery,
• wherein:
• the activation signal generation unit supplies the activation signal to the first storage battery through the first activation signal transmission line;
• the activation signal generation unit does not give first identification information through a communication line and the second signal transmission line to the second storage battery that is in an unavailable state by a fact that the activation signal is not supplied through the second activation signal transmission line, and the activation signal generation unit gives the first identification information through a communication line and the first signal transmission line to the first storage battery that is in an available state by a fact that the activation signal is supplied through the first activation signal transmission line;
• then
• the activation signal generation unit supplies the activation signal to the second storage battery through the second activation signal transmission line;
• and
• the activation signal generation unit does not give second identification information, that is different from the first identification information, through a communication line and the first signal transmission line to the first storage battery that is in an unavailable state by a fact that the activation signal is not supplied through the first activation signal transmission line, and the activation signal generation unit gives the second identification information through a communication line and the second signal transmission line to the second storage battery that is in an available state by a fact that the activation signal is supplied through the second activation signal transmission line.

A storage battery management method for managing a state of a plurality of storage batteries that are detachably mounted, the storage battery management method comprising:

• generating an activation signal for setting an available state with respect to a mounted storage battery;
• and
• associating identification information of the mounted storage battery with a storage battery management unit of the mounted storage battery that has received the activation signal,
• wherein the storage battery management method comprises:
• (a) supplying the activation signal to a first storage battery through a first activation signal transmission line to give first identification information through a communication line to the first storage battery, that is in an available state, by a fact that the activation signal is supplied through a first activation signal transmission line without giving the first identification information through the communication line to a second storage battery different from the first storage battery, which is in an unavailable state, by a fact that the activation signal is not supplied through a second activation signal transmission line that is different from the first activation signal transmission line;
• (b) after (a), supplying the activation signal to the second storage battery through the second activation signal transmission line to give second identification information, that is different from the first identification information, through the communication line to the second storage battery that is in an available state by a fact that the activation signal is supplied through the second activation signal transmission line without giving the second identification information through the communication line to the first storage battery, that is in an unavailable state, by a fact that the activation signal is not supplied through the first activation signal transmission line.
