  "textContent": "A battery (16) is a secondary battery that receives electricity from a vehicle drive apparatus (22) or outputs electricity to the vehicle drive apparatus (22). A current sensor (24) detects an electric current (I) input into the battery (16) or an electric current (I) output from the battery (16). An ECU (26) controls charging and discharging of the battery (16). The ECU (26) calculates, using the detected electric current from the current sensor (24), an evaluation value (£D) indicating the degree of deterioration of the battery (16) due to nonuniformity in the salt concentration in the battery (16) caused by charging and discharging. When the evaluation value (£D) reaches a prescribed threshold, the ECU (26) executes control of raising a remaining capacity of the battery, e.g. the SOC of the battery (16).",
