ABSTRACT:
A battery inspection device inspects for internal short circuits in a battery. The conditions of battery modules B are inspected by measuring open circuit voltage signals of the battery modules that form a battery stack. The open circuit voltage signals are supplied to a detection circuit through voltage signal lines each prepared for each battery module. A voltage signal line and an address signal line A for passing an address signal to set an address which identifies the battery stack using a signal supplied from a signal source share a single line extending between the battery module and the detection circuit, and thus the number of signal lines is reduced.
