A secondary battery system according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises: an electric load connected to a secondary battery; and a control device which, in an SOC-dV/dQ curve in which the dV/dQ that is the differential value of the change amount dV of the voltage V of the secondary battery with respect to the change amount dQ of the capacity Q of the secondary battery is plotted with respect to the charged state (SOC) expressed as a percentage of the capacity Q with respect to the fully charged capacity of the secondary battery, when at least one peak top SOC range including the peak top charge rate is set, and charging or discharging stops in the peak top SOC range, discharges the secondary battery by the electric load to avoid the peak top SOC range and ends charging or discharging of the secondary battery.

A method and system provide a plurality of power cell modules. The power cell modules can be stacked together such that they are electrically connected and share a collective multi-voltage bus. Electronic appliances can be connected to one of the power cell modules to be powered by all of the connected power cell modules. Power cell modules can be easily added or removed from the bank without interrupting the supply of power to the electronic appliance.

A recovery processing method of a lithium ion battery having a positive electrode and a negative electrode and in which performance has decreased due to a residue of lithium ions in the negative electrode, the method comprises: repeating a cycle a plurality of times, the cycle including: a first process of setting an SOC of the lithium ion battery to a first value, that is equal to or smaller than a value of the SOC in which a gradient of an SOC-voltage curve is a minimum value and that is equal to or greater than the value of the SOC in which the gradient of the SOC-voltage curve is two times the minimum value, by charging; and a second process of setting the SOC of the lithium ion battery to a second value, that is smaller than the first value, by discharging.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses related to hoist systems are provided herein. The system includes a battery and a hoist. The hoist includes a motor configured to move the hoist relative to a cable and to provide power generated by moving the hoist to the battery and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of a load on the hoist and to operate the motor to stop movement of the hoist relative to the cable based on the load on the hoist exceeding a predefined threshold.
