A vehicle power supply device has a capacitor unit including capacitors
storing auxiliary power; a temperature sensor; a charge circuit; a
capacitor-unit current detector; a capacitor-unit voltage detector; a
controller; a storage; and a determination unit. The determination unit
determines the degradation level of the capacitor unit based on at least
one of an internal resistance standard value and a corrected calculated
value of capacitance. This structure determines degradation of the
vehicle power supply device more accurately than ever, so that the device
can be used until the end of the actual life.
