A battery power detection device is disclosed that has a reduced circuit
area and is able to achieve sufficiently high detection accuracy. The
battery power detection device includes a temperature section detection
unit that detects a temperature of the battery and detects one of plural
predetermined temperature sections including the detected temperature, a
current section detection unit that detects a current output from the
battery and detects one of plural predetermined current sections
including the detected current; and a power section detection unit that
has plural voltage-power data tables including data indicating the
relation between the voltage output from the battery and the remaining
power sections of the battery. The power section detection unit selects
one of the voltage-power data tables according to the detected
temperature section and the detected current section, and detects one of
the remaining power sections associated with a given voltage of the
battery.
