Abstract
A bypass engaging voltage is set to a relatively high value and a target charging rate for a capacity adjustment is set higher than the target charging rate set in a regular charge/discharge mode when executing the capacity adjustment for individual cells by employing capacity adjustment circuits that discharge the corresponding cells when their voltages exceed the specific bypass engaging voltage.
