Abstract
A battery control apparatus is to be mounted on an electric vehicle and includes a processor. The processor is configured to control a variable resistor of the electric vehicle. The processor is configured to execute a resistance adjustment process, based on a difference between a temperature of a first battery group of the electric vehicle and a temperature of a second battery group of the electric vehicle. The resistance adjustment process is configured to control the variable resistor to cause a current per unit capacity of the first battery group and a current per unit capacity of the second battery group to be evenly closer to each other than when the resistance adjustment process is unexecuted. The processor is configured to refrain from executing the resistance adjustment process upon driving of the electric vehicle in which electric power is to be outputted from a battery of the electric vehicle.
