IMBALANCE REDUCTION CIRCUIT, POWER SUPPLY DEVICE, AND IMBALANCE REDUCTION METHOD

An imbalance reduction circuit is configured to include: a temperature-related information acquisition unit for acquiring temperature-related information related to the temperature of a plurality of electric accumulators; a discharge unit for executing an equalization process for discharging the plurality of electric accumulators until terminal voltages of the respective electric accumulators become substantially equal to one another; and an equalization controller for prohibiting the discharge unit from executing the equalization process, when the temperature-related information acquired by the temperature-related information acquisition unit satisfies a low temperature condition that is set as a condition where the discharge performance of the plurality of electric accumulators deteriorates.
