A voltage detection device for accurately correcting detection errors with voltage greater than an internal reference voltage. The device includes a first switch group of switches for obtaining the voltage across a battery block in a battery pack. A charge-discharge unit has two or more capacitors connected in series or in parallel. A voltage detector detects discharge voltage of the capacitors. In a first period, the capacitors are series-connected and charged with the voltage of the battery block. In a second period, the capacitors charged in the first period are series-connected and discharged, and the voltage detector detects the discharge voltage. In a third period, the capacitors are parallel-connected and each capacitor is charged with an internal reference voltage. In the fourth period, the capacitors charged in the third period are series-connected and discharged, and the detection error is corrected using the discharge voltage as a reference.
