SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRECIPITATION AND DISSOLUTION OF REACTION-RELATED SUBSTANCE IN SECONDARY BATTERY

摘要

A system for controlling precipitation and dissolution of a reaction-related substance that is a substance relating to a battery reaction in a secondary battery and that includes a first electrical storage device, a second electrical storage device and a controller. The first electrical storage device is the secondary battery. The second electrical storage device is different from the first electrical storage device. The controller is configured to control an exchange of electric power between the first electrical storage device and the second electrical storage device. The controller is configured to, when the reaction-related substance has precipitated on a negative electrode of the first electrical storage device, charge the second electrical storage device with at least part of electric power that is discharged from the first electrical storage device. Thus, the controller raises a potential of the negative electrode to a potential higher than a potential of the reaction-related substance.
