The first control device is configured to use a detection value of the battery sensor to obtain a current upper limit value indicating an upper limit value of an input current of the secondary battery. The second control device is configured to use a power upper limit value indicating an upper limit value of an input power of the secondary battery to control the input power of the secondary battery. The converter is configured to perform a conversion of the current upper limit value into the power upper limit value.
