Abstract
A battery characteristics learning apparatus is provided for calculating learning values of circuit constants of an equivalent circuit of a rechargeable battery. The apparatus includes: (1) means for acquiring values of terminal voltage of the battery sensed by voltage-sensing means and values of current of the battery sensed by current-sensing means and storing the acquired values in time series; (2) means for determining, based on the acquired values of the current, whether there has occurred a predetermined change in the current; and (3) means for calculating, when it is determined that the predetermined change has occurred, the learning values of the circuit constants based on those values of the terminal voltage and the current which are acquired at sampling time points or during sampling periods, each of the sampling time points and the sampling periods being set according to a corresponding one of time constants defined by the circuit constants.
