Balance correction apparatus and electric storage system
Abstract:
A balance correction apparatus is stopped at an appropriate timing. Provided are an inductor; a first switching device electrically connected between another end of the inductor and another end of the first electric storage cell; a second switching device electrically connected between another end of the inductor and another end of the second electric storage cell; and a control section supplying a control signal to control ON/OFF operations of the first switching device and the second switching device, to the first switching device and the second switching device, where the control section obtains information representing a voltage difference between the first electric storage cell and the second electric storage cell, and the control section supplies the control signal to cause both of the first switching device and the second switching device to operate to be OFF, when the voltage difference is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.
