Abstract
This method to determine capacity of a battery computes capacity in current value and then converts it into capacity in power value, or computes capacity in power value and then converts it into current value. This method to determine capacity of a battery detects either discharge current or charge current or both, and computes capacity of battery in current value, which is then converted into capacity in power value by way of multiplication by the correcting constant which varies in accordance with capacity in current value. This method to determine capacity of a battery detects battery voltage or detects either discharge current or charge current or both of the battery, then computes battery capacity in power value, and converts capacity in power value so computed into capacity in current value by way of multiplication by the correcting constant which varies in accordance with capacity in power value.
