Control device, balance correcting system, electric storage system and device

A control device that controls a balance correcting device to equalize voltages of a first electric storage cell and a second electric storage cell that are connected in series, wherein

• the balance correcting device has:
• a transporting device for transporting energy between the first electric storage cell and the second electric storage cell;
• and
• a switching element that switches an electrical connection relationship between (i) at least either the first electric storage cell or the second electric storage cell and (ii) the transporting device,
• the control device comprises:
• a first path for:
• electrically connecting (i) a power source unit or reference potential that provides a potential, voltage or current for generating a drive signal of the switching element and (ii) a receiving unit that receives the drive signal in the switching element;
• and supplying the drive signal to the switching element;
• and
• a second path for:
• electrically connecting (i) the power source unit or the reference potential and (ii) the receiving unit;
• and supplying the drive signal to the switching element, and
• (i) a value of a combined resistance of a wire of the second path and one or more elements disposed in the second path is greater than (ii) a value of a combined resistance of a wire of the first path and one or more elements disposed in the first path.
