Abstract
A secondary battery has a progressively degrading SOC that is an SOC at which the battery performance degrades during storage, and is charged and discharged by a controller. An information processor holds a first threshold value set in advance and lower than the progressively degrading SOC of the secondary battery, and a second threshold value set in advance and higher than the progressively degrading SOC, makes the controller continue an operation to charge the secondary battery from the first threshold value to the second threshold value at the time of charging the secondary battery based on the value of the SOC of the secondary battery detected by the controller, and makes the controller continue an operation to discharge the secondary battery from the second threshold value to the first threshold value at the time of discharging the secondary battery based on the value of the SOC of the secondary battery detected by the controller.
