Abstract

In order to provide a storage battery control apparatus capable of increasing the amount of charges stored in a storage battery, an aspect of the storage battery control apparatus of the invention is a storage battery control apparatus having: a first controller that releases charges stored in a capacitor that forms a storage battery if an inter-terminal voltage of the capacitor becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold; a temperature detector that detects a temperature of the capacitor; and a second controller that changes the predetermined threshold in accordance with the temperature of the capacitor.
