Abstract:
A charging method of a secondary battery having plural cells includes: connecting the plural cells in series and conducting constant current charging by a first power source; measuring voltages of the plural cells; and connecting the plural cells in parallel and conducting constant voltage charging by a second power source, a voltage of which is lower than a voltage of the first power source, in the case where a measured voltage difference among the plural cells is smaller than a specified value.
