Abstract

A method for determining battery discharge capability includes estimating the optimum state vector X by an extended Kalman filter operation. Using the estimated state vector X, element parameters of an equivalent circuit are renewed. Furthermore, based on the equivalent circuit using the renewed element parameters, at the time of discharging with a predetermined current pattern from a battery, a voltage drop ΔV is estimated. Therefore, the discharge capacity of the battery is determined.
