A lead acid battery device includes a lead acid battery, a charge control unit to charge the lead acid battery by alternately and repeatedly performing high voltage charging, in which a pulsed high voltage is applied to the lead acid battery, and low voltage charging, in which a low voltage lower than the high voltage is applied to the lead acid battery, and an internal resistance calculation unit to calculate an internal resistance of the lead acid battery based on the voltage difference and the current difference of the lead acid battery between a condition at which the pulsed high voltage is applied and a condition at which the pulsed high voltage is not applied.

With a conventional pulse charging method, a low voltage value for the pulse voltage is set to zero volts. When the low voltage value is low in this manner during charging, there is a problem that the negative pole of a secondary battery deteriorates. Provided is a secondary battery apparatus including a secondary battery and charge/discharge control apparatus that controls charging and discharging of the secondary battery. The charge/discharge control apparatus repeatedly performs, in an alternating manner, high voltage charging of applying a pulsed high voltage to the secondary battery and low voltage charging of applying a low voltage that is higher than 0 V and lower than the high voltage to the secondary battery.

Charge apparatus to repeatedly apply a pulsed high voltage and a low voltage to charge a battery

A positive electrode catalyst, for use in a positive electrode in a device provided with the positive electrode and a negative electrode, in which a reaction represented by 4OH&#x2192;O+2HO+4eis performed on a side of the positive electrode. The positive electrode catalyst includes a layered metal oxide, wherein the layered metal oxide is a Ruddlesden-Popper type layered perovskite represented by (LaA) (FeB)(SrC)Owherein, A is a rare earth element other than La, B is a transition metal other than Fe, and C is an alkaline earth metal other than Sr; and x satisfies an expression: 0&#x2266;x&#x3c;1, y satisfies an expression: 0&#x2266;y&#x3c;1, z satisfies an expression: 0&#x2266;z&#x3c;1, and a satisfies an expression: 0&#x2266;a&#x2266;3.
