Abstract

A battery monitoring device (201) comprises a signal generating unit that generates a control signal for controlling a first measuring circuit (1z) to which a first battery assembly (1) obtained by dividing a plurality of batteries connected in series is connected, and a second measuring circuit (2z) to which a second battery assembly (2) obtained by dividing the plurality of batteries is connected, and an impedance calculating unit (15) that calculates the AC impedance of each of the plurality of batteries on the basis of a measured current value flowing through the first measuring circuit (1z) and the voltage value of each battery included in the first battery assembly (1), and a measured current value flowing through the second measuring circuit (2z) and the voltage value of each battery included in the second battery assembly (2), wherein: the first measuring circuit (1z) includes a first switch; the second measuring circuit (2z) includes a second switch; and the signal generating unit generates a control signal for exclusively turning on the first switch and the second switch.
