Provided is a battery pack charge/discharge control device in which two or more secondary battery units are connected in parallel as a battery pack. The battery pack charge/discharge control device includes an output power maximization circuit configured to maximize an output power based on an input power, and a voltage adjustment converter configured to adjust an output voltage from the output power maximization circuit, and an output power of a secondary battery unit is maximized when the secondary battery unit is in a short circuit state.

Battery pack charge/discharge control device that suppress heat generation when internal short circuit occurs in a secondary battery

Provided is a charging control device including a current detector, an abnormal current determination circuit, and a charging stop circuit. The current detector is configured to detect a charging current, the abnormal current determination circuit is configured to determine whether the charging current is attenuated and/or increased in a constant voltage charging region, and to determine whether a value of the charging current per unit time is increased, and the charging stop circuit is configured to stop a constant voltage charging when the value of the charging current per unit time is increased.
