Disclosed is a charge protection circuit including: a switch that switches between allowing and not allowing power supply from an external power source to a charging circuit that supplies power for charging a rechargeable battery; a detector that detects at least one of a current flowing from the charging circuit to the rechargeable battery and a voltage between two electrodes of the rechargeable battery; a determiner that determines whether a detection result of the detector is abnormal; and a controller that, in response to the determiner determining that the detection result of the detector is abnormal, causes the switch to switch to an interrupting state so as to interrupt power supply to the charging circuit.
