A voltage detector for a battery assembly having unit cells, the voltage
detector includes a low voltage system circuit and a high voltage system
circuit. The low voltage system circuit includes an enable pulse output
unit which outputs an enable pulse to command detection of a voltage
across both terminals of the unit cell. The high voltage system circuit
includes a voltage pulse output unit which output a voltage pulse showing
a voltage across both terminals of the unit cell, a switch which is
provided between each unit cell of the battery assembly and the voltage
pulse output unit and a switch controller which conducts ON-OFF control
of the switch so that the each unit cell is successively connected to the
voltage pulse output unit according to the enable pulse inputted from the
pulse output unit.
