Abstract
A battery including an output terminal, an electric storage device, a monitoring apparatus including a detector and a controller, the detector being configured to detect a variation value corresponding to an amount of charge of the electric storage device, a relay connected to the output terminal and the electric storage device, and a communication unit connected to the controller. The controller is configured to execute an opening process to switch a state of the relay from a closed state to an open state and to cause the communication unit to receive an input signal from outside.
Claims20
A battery, comprising:
- an output terminal;
- an electric storage device;
- a monitoring apparatus including a detector and a controller, the detector being configured to detect a variation value corresponding to an amount of charge of the electric storage device;
- a relay connected to the output terminal and the electric storage device;
- and
- a communication unit connected to the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to execute an opening process to switch a state of the relay from a closed state to an open state and to cause the communication unit to receive an input signal from outside.
A power control method of a battery that includes an output terminal, an electric storage device, a monitoring apparatus including a detector and a controller, and a relay connected to the output terminal and the electric storage device, the method comprising:
- detecting a variation value corresponding to an amount of charge of the electric storage device;
- and
- executing, by the controller, an opening process to switch a state of the relay from a closed state to an open state, and to cause the communication unit to receive an input signal from outside.
