A power supply device includes: a first high-voltage line for exchanging the electric power externally; a second high-voltage line for applying current flowing in a direction opposite to the first high-voltage line; a plurality of batteries; a plurality of SUs, the SUs being provided corresponding to the respective batteries, switching a connection state of the batteries to the first high-voltage line, and being disposed in a circle; and an SCU that controls the SUs. The SU can switch between a first state in which the battery corresponding to the SU is connected in series to the first high-voltage line and a second state in which the battery is not connected to the first high-voltage line. The SCU controls the SUs to switch to the first state or the second state in accordance with a voltage of the electric power to be charged and discharged.

A noise filter may include: a first conductive line extending between an input and an output terminal portion, wherein the first conductive line includes an input-side conductive line extending between the input terminal portion and a branch portion, and an output-side conductive line extending between the output terminal portion and the branch portion; a second conductive line connected to the branch portion of the first conductive line, wherein a capacitor is on the second conductive line; and a magnetic body surrounding at least a part of a circumference of at least a part of the first conductive line, wherein the magnetic body is configured to magnetically couple the input-side and the output-side conductive lines such that at least an equivalent series inductance of the capacitor and a parasitic inductance of the second conductive line are reduced by a mutual inductance between the input-side conductive line and the output-side conductive line.
