Battery Management Device, and Electric Power System

The objective of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of estimating a battery condition in conjunction with charging/discharging operations of a battery, without employing dedicated equipment for estimating the condition of the battery. A battery management device according to the present invention identifies a first period and a subsequent second period in a rest period after a battery finishes discharging or charging, and uses an output voltage difference in the second period to estimate the condition of the battery (see FIG. ).
