A battery monitoring device is configured to include a monitoring unit that monitors a state of a battery, an interrupter that interrupts a power supply to a load, and another interrupter that interrupts a power supply to the interrupter, wherein the monitoring unit controls an operation of the interrupter such that a power supply to the load is interrupted, and controls an operation of the other interrupter such that a power supply to the interrupter is interrupted.

Battery monitoring device

Each of a plurality of monitoring units () that monitor the states of batteries allocates, as identifying information for itself, identifying information corresponding to an input signal inputted from a preceding control unit () or monitoring unit (); outputs, to a subsequent monitoring unit (), a signal that differs from the input signal corresponding to the identifying information the monitoring unit () in question has allocated to itself; and, if and when identifying information corresponding to an input signal differs from the identifying information the monitoring unit () in question had allocated to itself, reallocates identifying information corresponding to said input signal as identifying information for itself.
