Monitoring apparatus for energy storage device, energy storage apparatus, and a method of monitoring energy storage device

Abstract

A monitoring apparatus for an energy storage device provided at a movable body and electrically connected to a load of the movable body via a switch, the monitoring apparatus comprising: a monitoring unit supplied with power from the energy storage device; wherein the monitoring unit executes monitoring operation of bringing the switch from a closed state into an opened state under a condition that the energy storage device has voltage not more than a discharge voltage threshold, and bringing the switch from the opened state into the closed state under a condition that the switch is in the opened state and the energy storage device satisfies a predetermined discharge recovery condition, and extends an interval of the monitoring operation when the movable body is parked while the switch is in the opened state, in comparison to a case where the movable body is not parked.
