Abstract
A problem to be solved is to realize a reduction of a difference in temperature between battery cells. Provided is a storage battery () including an electrical storage unit () including a battery cell group having a plurality of battery cells connected in series, a temperature difference detection unit () that detects a difference in temperature between the plurality of battery cells, and a charging and discharging control unit () that executes control processing of controlling at least one of charging to the electrical storage unit () and discharging from the electrical storage unit () so that the amount of current flowing in a battery cell having a relatively low temperature among the plurality of battery cells becomes greater than the amount of current flowing in a battery cell having a relatively high temperature among the plurality of battery cells.
