Original Abstract Submitted
a power storage system that performs charging and discharging with an external system includes a power converter, a plurality of assembled batteries, and a control device. the control device operates the power converter to supply power from the designated first assembled battery of the plurality of assembled batteries to the designated at least one second assembled battery of the plurality of assembled batteries to completely discharge the first assembled battery. the control device operates the power converter to power the first assembled battery from the at least one second assembled battery to fully charge the first assembled battery. the control device calculates the full charge capacity of the first assembled battery based on the transition from the fully discharged state to the fully charged state.
