BATTERY TYPE DETERMINATION DEVICE AND BATTERY TYPE DETERMINATION METHOD

Abstract:

A battery type determination device according to an embodiment includes: an output controller configured to instruct a current application circuit to apply a specific current to a target battery; a voltage response measurer configured to measure a voltage response of the target battery with respect to the current applied using the output controller; a calculator configured to obtain an inductance value of the target battery on the basis of a current value applied using the output controller and a voltage value measured by the voltage response measurer; and a determiner configured to determine a type of the target battery on the basis of a specified value of an inductance according to the type of the target battery and an inductance value of the target battery obtained using the calculator.
