Abstract
The control device controls an adjusting unit that adjusts current flowing between an electric storage unit of an electric storage device configured such that the electric storage device can be connected in parallel with a distinct power supply device, and a wire that electrically connects the electric storage device and the distinct power supply device. The control device includes a current detecting unit that detects (i) current flowing between the wire and the electric storage unit in the second direction or (ii) current flowing between the wire and the electric storage unit when the first current adjusting unit electrically disconnects the wire and the electric storage unit, and an operation control unit that controls operation of the first current adjusting unit based on (i) voltage or SOC of the electric storage unit and (ii) a detection result of the current detecting unit.
