An abnormal voltage detector apparatus is provided for an assembled
battery including a plurality of battery blocks connected in series to
each other. In the abnormal voltage detector apparatus, a detecting part
detects whether or not each of the battery blocks is in a voltage
abnormality state by comparing either one of a voltage of each battery
block and each battery measuring voltage, that is a voltage lowered from
the voltage of each battery block, with a predetermined reference
voltage, generates each of abnormality detecting signals containing
information about a detected result, calculates a time ratio of a time
interval, for which the assembled battery is in a voltage abnormality
state, to a predetermined time interval, based on the abnormality
detecting signals, and detects a voltage abnormality of the assembled
battery based on a calculated time ratio.
