Provided is a battery unit including: a power supply; a detector configured to detect an output voltage of the power supply; a connecting configured to be connectable with a load for atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source; and a controller capable of executing a power supply mode in which electric power is supplied to the load from the power supply. The controller executes a specific control different from the supply of electric power to the load based on am amount of change in the output voltage per a predetermined time period in the power supply mode.

Battery unit, flavor inhaler, method of controlling battery unit, and program

A battery unit includes a power supply; a connection configured to be connectable with a load for atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source and a charger for charging the power supply; and a controller that performs a specific process at least selectively executable to at least temporarily disable the supply of electric power to the load from the power supply, if erroneously determining the load connected to the connection as the charger is identified.

A battery unit includes a power source; a detection part for detecting an output voltage of the power source; a connection part to which a load for atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source and a charger for charging the power source are connectable; and a control part being able to execute a power supplying mode that allows supply of electric power from the power source to the load and a charging mode that allows charging of the power source by the charger, wherein if a decreased quantity of the output voltage per predetermined period in the charging mode is equal to or less than a threshold value that has been set based on a decreased quantity of the output voltage per the predetermined period in the power supplying mode, the control part determines that there is abnormality in the charging mode.
