The microprocessor 11 inside the device 14 using the secondary battery 3 as a power source reads the current voltage as voltage data 9 from the voltage measuring device 5, and consumes it after the secondary battery 3 is attached to the device. The current amount is calculated as an integrated value of the current data 8 from the current measuring device 6, and the secondary battery 3
Since the discharge characteristic of 1 depends on the outside air temperature, the temperature data 10 of the temperature sensor 7 is also read. Further, the microprocessor 11 estimates the discharge characteristic of the secondary battery 3 based on the battery history data 4 from the rewritable nonvolatile memory 1 (hereinafter, memory 1) provided in the secondary battery 3, and collects each data. The remaining amount of energy of the secondary battery 3 is estimated by comparing them. An estimated value of the remaining amount of energy is displayed on the display 12 by the display control signal 13 from the microprocessor 11.
