Abstract
A storage battery monitoring device includes a pair of measurement lines connected respectively to a pair of voltage detection lines connected respectively to a positive and a negative electrode of a rechargeable battery, a pair of adjustment lines connected respectively to the pair of voltage detection lines in parallel with the measurement lines, a first capacitive element connected between the pair of measurement lines, a second capacitive element connected between the pair of adjustment lines, and a switch connected across the second capacitive element. Capacitance values of the first and second capacitive elements are set such that a voltage between the pair of measurement lines continues changing after closing the switch and then opening the switch after a lapse of a predetermined short-circuit time if the voltage detection line is broken.
