Abstract
A battery monitoring device includes a first voltage measurement unit, a second voltage measurement unit, a current measurement unit, a cell voltage ratio calculation unit, a cell voltage calculation unit, and a trigger signal generation unit. The cell voltage ratio is a ratio of an individual cell voltage measurement value to a total sum of all cell voltage measurement values. The cell voltage measurement value is equal to the cell voltage ratio multiplied by the total voltage of all of the battery cells constituting the battery pack.
