A device to adjust the capacity of battery cells includes a controller
that adjusts the cells to reduce the rate of heat generation in capacity
adjustment. When capacity adjustment of cells that form battery set is
performed, the capacity adjustment target cells are divided into multiple
groups. When the capacity adjustment of the capacity adjustment target
cells in one group comes to an end, the cells in the next group are
adjusted. As a result, it is possible to reduce the rate of heat
generation as compared with the case when capacity adjustment is
performed for all of the capacity adjustment target cells at the same
time.
