Abstract
The present invention provides a battery pack, in which both specific information such as information for identifying the battery and information of battery status are stored. The battery pack has a rewritable storage device for storing the specific information of the battery and the information of battery status, and operation switching means for switching operation status of the battery to a testing mode or to a normal mode. It is designed in such manner that the specific information and the battery status information stored in the storage device are turned to rewritable in the testing mode, and that the specific information of the battery is turned to non-rewritable in the operation mode.
