In an arithmetic system, a data acquisition unit acquires operation data at least including a voltage of a battery mounted on an identical product (for example, an electrically-driven vehicle of an identical vehicle type) and a state of charge (SOC) from a plurality of individuals of the product via a network. A detector statistically processes the plurality of pieces of acquired operation data to detect an individual on which a battery different from specifications of the product is mounted.

An electronic device, according to various embodiments, comprises: a battery connecting circuit; a charging circuit for supplying power supplied from an external electronic device to a component and battery of the electronic device; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: in a first state in which the electronic device of which the battery is not connected to the battery connecting circuit receives power from the external electronic device, measure the voltage of the battery when it is confirmed that the battery is connected to the battery connecting circuit; and after confirming the capacity of the battery on the basis of the measured voltage, switch to a second state in which the charging circuit supplies power from the external electronic device to the battery connected to the battery connecting circuit. Various other embodiments may be provided.

A battery module comprising a plurality of battery cell units, each one comprising: a battery cell having a first pole and a second pole, and a switch circuit, comprising a plurality of switches, and a switch controller arranged to control the switches of the switch circuit to enter either of a first state, in which the battery cell is connected in parallel with a neighboring battery cell, and a second state, in which the battery cell is connected in series with a neighboring battery cell. The battery module is configured to control the switching between the first and second states on a probabilistic basis.
