A method for inspecting an energy storage device, the method includes: estimating a degree of degradation of the energy storage device; determining, based on the estimated degree of degradation, a measurement condition such that time required to measure a full charge capacity of the energy storage device decreases or increases; and measuring the full charge capacity according to the determined measurement condition.

Method for inspecting energy storage device, non-transitory storage medium, and computer device

A battery control device includes a processor that is configured to estimate a full charge capacity of a battery based on an amount of current supplied to the battery from a start of charging to an end of charging and voltages of the battery at the start of charging and the end of charging when the battery is charged from a state where a voltage of the battery is below a predetermined start voltage threshold value to a state where the voltage exceeds a predetermined end voltage threshold value, and the battery satisfies a predetermined permission condition.

Battery control device

A vehicle includes: an engine; an exhaust pipe through which exhaust gas from the engine is released; a battery pack located near the exhaust pipe; and an ECU that executes, during limp-home traveling of the vehicle, control in which the battery pack is not charged and discharged, and output suppression control in which output of the engine is suppressed. In the output suppression control, when the catalyst temperature is above a threshold value, the ECU suppresses the output of the engine, as compared to when the catalyst temperature is below the threshold value, while maintaining a state in which the engine can output power.
