Power supply system, vehicle including the power supply system, control method for power supply system, and computer-readable recording medium having program recorded thereon for computer to execute the control method

This system manages multiple batteries in a vehicle, like a hybrid or electric car, to ensure they work together efficiently. It calculates how much power each battery can safely provide or receive before hitting its limits, then controls the power flow to share the load or charge among them. The system also includes a feature to correct any imbalance in the batteries' charge levels, keeping them healthy and extending their lifespan.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced electric vehicle battery architectures, this system's focus on balancing multiple power storage devices is now more relevant. Modern EVs often use modular battery packs or hybrid storage systems, making sophisticated power sharing and state-of-charge correction critical for performance and longevity.
