Abstract
A apparatus configured to control charge and discharge of a battery, and to obtain a charging capacity of the battery, the apparatus includes: a first register configured to store voltage sections each including a lower and upper limit voltage; a circuit configured to measure a time from when the battery voltage at the time of charging the battery or a calculated value of that battery voltage exceeds the lower limit voltage to when that battery voltage or the calculated value reaches the upper limit voltage; an circuit configured to obtain section charging capacities, based on products of the charging current and the times; a second register configured to store the section charging capacities; and a circuit configured to read at least one of the section charging capacities stored in the second register, based on the battery voltage at the time of discharging the battery or the calculated value.
