  "textContent": "A power supply device includes battery units 10. Each unit 10 includes a battery block 2, a voltage detector 4, a power supply circuit 5, and a disconnection detector 8. The block 2 includes serially-connected battery cells 3. The voltage detector 4 detects the cell 3 voltages through voltage detection lines 6. The power supply circuit 5 supplies power from the block 2 to the voltage detector 4. The voltage detector 4 is powered by electric power from the block 2. The disconnection detector 8 detects disconnection of the lines 6 based on the detected cell 3 voltages. An unbalance resistor 12 is connected to one of the blocks 2 to increase power consumption of this block 2. Thus, a current flows in the line 6 that is connected to a node 16 between this block 2 and an adjacent block connected next to this block 2.",
