A battery pack system, a control method thereof and a management device are provided. A battery pack is connected in series with a discharge circuit unit and a charge circuit unit; a battery management unit is to monitor a temperature of the battery pack, to periodically send, when the temperature of the battery pack is lower than a threshold, a turn-on-instruction to the discharge circuit unit and the charge circuit unit alternately to control the discharge circuit unit and the charge circuit unit to be alternately turned on in heating cycles; the discharge circuit unit is to be turned on according to the turn-on-instruction to enable electricity of the battery pack to flow into the energy storage unit in discharging-phase; and the charge circuit unit is to be turned on according to the turn-on-instruction to enable electricity of the energy storage unit to flow into the battery pack in charging-phase.

A control device distributes electric power from a battery to an electric power feed terminal when the remaining level of a battery is equal to or higher than a predetermined value with an ignition off. Therefore, an electronic component can be charged after being connected to the electric power feed terminal, even with the ignition off. When the remaining level of the battery is lower than the predetermined value, the distribution of electric power from the battery to the electric power feed terminal is shut off, so the electric component can be stopped from being charged, even after being connected to the electric power feed terminal. In consequence, even when the electronic component can be charged after being connected to the electric power feed terminal with the ignition off, a battery remaining level that is needed when a vehicle runs next time can be ensured.
