In secondary battery capacity adjustment apparatus and method for an
assembled cell unit, the assembled cell unit includes: a plurality of
secondary batteries; and a control board on which a capacity adjusting
section is mounted, the capacity adjusting section being installed to
correspond to each of the secondary batteries and configured to consume
an electric power of a corresponding one of the secondary batteries to
adjust a residual capacity of the corresponding one of the secondary
batteries, a priority order of the secondary batteries to be capacity
adjusted is determined in accordance with a mounted position of the
capacity adjusting section corresponding to one of the secondary
batteries on the control board and an electric power of each of the
secondary batteries is caused to have consumed by the corresponding
capacity adjusting section in accordance with the determined priority
order to adjust a capacity of each of the secondary batteries.
