Abstract
A power control device comprising: a step-down converter configured to step down DC power supplied from a DC power source; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the step-down converter or a temperature correlated therewith; and a control device configured to control an operation of the step-down converter based on a target value for an output voltage of the step-down converter. The control device is configured to change the target value between at least two values in response to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
