Abstract
An energy storage system includes an energy storage device; a current cutoff unit configured to cut off current of the energy storage device; a communication connector to be connected with an external communication connector; a detection terminal provided to the communication connector; and a control unit configured to control the current cutoff unit based on a connection state of the detection terminal of the communication connector when the communication connector is connected with the external communication connector. In a method of monitoring an energy storage device mounted on a vehicle, when a communication connector including a detecting terminal is connected with an external communication connector of the vehicle, current between the energy storage device and the vehicle is cut off based on a connection state of the detection terminal.
