Power supply unit for aerosol inhaler and control method and program of power supply unit for aerosol inhaler

A power supply unit for an aerosol inhaler, the power supply unit comprising:

• a power supply able to discharge power to a load for generating an aerosol from an aerosol generation source;
• a discharging terminal configured to connect the load to the power supply;
• a charging terminal configured to connect the power supply to an external power supply and to be separate from the discharging terminal;
• a temperature measuring unit configured to measure temperature of the power supply;
• and
• a control device configured to control an effective value of a first charging current to a value smaller than an effective value of a second charging current, wherein the first charging current is supplied to the power supply in a case where a measurement value of the temperature measuring unit is equal to or higher than a first threshold and the second charging current is supplied to the power supply in a case where the measurement value is lower than the first threshold, wherein
• in a case where the measurement value is equal to or higher than a second threshold larger than the first threshold, the control device stops charging of the power supply, and
• a value which is obtained by subtracting the first threshold from the second threshold is equal to or larger than an absolute value of an error of the temperature measuring unit in measuring the temperature.

• a charger configured to convert power, which is input from the charging terminal, into charging power for the power supply,
• wherein the charger includes an information input part and is configured to be able to change an effective value of a charging current that is supplied to the power supply based on an input which is input from the information input part,
• among the charger and the control device, only the control device acquires the temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit, and
• the control device changes inputs to the information input part based on the temperature to control the effective value of the charging current that is supplied to the power supply.
