There is provided a battery pack system that allows an output limit during
short-time discharging and long-time discharging of a secondary battery, and limits
the output appropriately upon request of a vehicle. An output limiting section
104 is provided for changing a limit value of output electric power from
the secondary battery when voltage data V (n) from a voltage measuring section
102 reaches a predetermined discharging termination voltage. The output
limiting section 104 has short-time output information (Pp) for allowing
short-time discharging of the secondary battery and normal output information (Pn)
for allowing long-time discharging of the secondary battery, and sets a first discharging
termination voltage (V1) during short-time discharging to be lower than
a second discharging termination voltage (V2) during long-time discharging.
