Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In general, according to one embodiment, a charge control method includes acquiring a measured temperature of a lithium ion battery, acquiring a threshold value for stopping charging of the lithium ion battery according to the measured temperature of the lithium ion battery based on a relationship between a cycle life and a charging capacity of the lithium ion battery for each temperature of the lithium ion battery, and, charging the lithium ion battery based on the threshold value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A charge control method comprising: acquiring a measured temperature of a lithium ion battery; acquiring a threshold value for stopping charging of the lithium ion battery according to the measured temperature of the lithium ion battery based on a relationship between a cycle life and a charging capacity of the lithium ion battery for each temperature of the lithium ion battery; and charging the lithium ion battery based on the threshold value. 2 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium ion battery includes a negative electrode using an oxide containing niobium as an active material. 3 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the threshold value is a threshold value of the charging capacity of the lithium ion battery. 4 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the threshold value is a threshold value of a charging voltage of the lithium ion battery. 5 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring a threshold value includes acquiring the threshold value that satisfies a cycle life condition requested, based on the relationship between the cycle life and the charging capacity of the lithium ion battery for each temperature of the lithium ion battery. 6 . The charge control method according to claim 5 , further comprising accepting the request for the cycle life condition by an operation of a user. 7 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring a threshold value includes acquiring the threshold value that satisfies a charging capacity condition requested, based on the relationship between the cycle life and the charging capacity of the lithium ion battery for each temperature of the lithium ion battery. 8 . The charge control method according to claim 7 , further comprising accepting the request for the charging capacity condition by an operation of a user. 9 . The charge control method according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium ion battery includes a plurality of battery cells, and the acquiring a measured temperature of the lithium ion battery includes acquiring a highest temperature among measured temperatures of the battery cells. 10 . A charge control apparatus comprising a controller configured to: acquire a measured temperature of a lithium ion battery; acquire a threshold value for stopping charging of the lithium ion battery according to the measured temperature of the lithium ion battery, based on a relationship between a cycle life and a charging capacity of the lithium ion battery for each temperature of the lithium ion battery; and charge the lithium ion battery based on the threshold value. 11 . Battery-mounted equipment comprising the charge control apparatus according to claim 10 .
