Abstract
A battery temperature control apparatus capable of controlling the temperature of a battery to reach a suitable condition is provided. Thermal capacity determining unit, based on the temperature of batterydetected by battery temperature detectorand a target temperature stored in storage unit, determines the thermal capacity necessary for setting the temperature of batteryto the target temperature. Temperature regulating ability determining unit, based on the temperature of batterydetected by battery temperature detectorand the temperature of the temperature regulating medium detected by medium temperature detector, determines the temperature regulating ability of fan. Flow rate controller, based on the thermal capacity determined by thermal capacity determining unitand the temperature regulating ability determined by temperature regulating ability determining unit, controls the flow rate of the temperature regulating medium sent by the fan. The temperature of batterybecomes close to the target temperature due to the temperature regulating medium sent from fan
