ABSTRACT:
A battery capacity predicting method predicts a remaining capacity of a battery unit including a plurality of battery cells connected in series in an apparatus which uses the battery unit. The battery capacity predicting method includes the steps of comparing output voltages of each of the battery cells, and predicting the remaining capacity of the battery unit based on at least one of a minimum voltage and a maximum voltage out of the compared output voltages of the battery cells.
