Abstract

A method of selecting a used secondary battery includes an internal resistance measurement step of measuring a specific internal resistance (second internal resistance) at a specific battery temperature (second battery temperature) of each of used secondary batteries, and a selection step of selecting a used secondary battery or batteries having the specific internal resistance (second internal resistance) smaller than a preset threshold from the plurality of used secondary batteries whose specific internal resistances (second internal resistance) have been measured in order to exclude an electrode-deteriorated battery from the used secondary batteries.
