DETERIORATION STATE ESTIMATION DEVICE, DETERIORATION STATE ESTIMATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE FOR ANODE-FREE LITHIUM BATTERY EQUIPPED WITH SAME

It is an object of the present invention to accurately estimate the state of deterioration and service life of a secondary battery having a negative electrode free of a negative electrode active material using a simple configuration. One aspect of the present invention is a state-of-deterioration estimating device in a secondary battery having a negative electrode free of a negative electrode active material, the state-of-deterioration estimating device comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires a post-discharge OCV that is an open circuit voltage (OCV) in the state after a predetermined amount of time or more has elapsed since the discharge was stopped; a calculating unit that calculates the state of deterioration of the secondary battery based on the acquired post-discharge OCV by referencing characteristic information indicating the change in a predetermined deterioration index that indicates the degree of deterioration in the secondary battery relative to the change in the post-discharge OCV of the secondary battery; and an output unit that outputs the state of deterioration that has been calculated.
