Original Abstract Submitted

A battery monitoring system includes measurement devices and a battery monitoring device. Each measurement device measures a cell state of a corresponding cell constituting a battery. The battery monitoring device sequentially communicates, by using wireless communication, with the measurement devices during a communication period; and acquires state information indicating the cell state from each measurement device. In a case where transmitting a measurement instruction of the cell state to each of the measurement devices, the battery monitoring device transmits, to each of the plurality of measurement devices, a corresponding stand-by time interval such that measurement timings of the measurement devices synchronize, the stand-by time interval being a time interval from reception of the measurement instruction until the measurement timing. Each of the measurement devices measures the corresponding cell state in a case where the stand-by time interval has elapsed since reception of the measurement instruction.
