Power supply apparatus

Abstract

A power supply apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes secondary battery units and a controller. The secondary battery units are coupled in parallel to each other. The controller controls discharging of the secondary battery units. The secondary battery units each include secondary batteries and a switching unit. The switching unit switches coupling of the secondary batteries. The controller switches coupling between a first secondary battery and each of one or more second secondary batteries from parallel coupling to series coupling by controlling the switching unit. The first secondary battery is any one of the secondary batteries. The one or more second secondary batteries are one or more of the secondary batteries other than the first secondary battery.
