Abstract
A battery-state estimation device obtains, at a first timing, a first resistance value corresponding to a first open circuit voltage of a lithium-ion secondary battery and a second resistance value corresponding to a second open circuit voltage, which is higher than the first open circuit voltage, of the lithium-ion secondary battery. Further, the battery-state estimation device obtains, at a second timing which is different from the first timing, a third resistance value corresponding to the first open circuit voltage and a fourth resistance value corresponding to the second open circuit voltage. The battery-state estimation device determines presence or absence of lithium deposition in the lithium-ion secondary battery, based on a magnitude relation between a first variation amount of the third resistance value with respect to the first resistance value and a second variation amount of the fourth resistance value with respect to the second resistance value.
