Abstract:
An energy storage apparatus includes: an energy storage device which is connected to a vehicle load and a vehicle power generator; a current interrupt device that causes the energy storage device and the vehicle load as well as the energy storage device and the vehicle power generator to be in a conduction state or in an interruption state; a voltage detection unit that detects voltage of the energy storage device; and a control unit. The control unit executes: a switching instruction process in which, when determining that the electric storage device will reach an overcharge state on the basis of the voltage, the control unit issues an interruption switching instruction to the current interrupt device; and an interruption maintaining process in which, when the number of times of the switching instruction process exceeds a predetermined value, the control unit issues an instruction to maintain the interruption state.
