(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in recent years, as the price of solar cells has declined, there has been a trend to use larger solar cells, and current limiting that relies on the characteristics of the solar cells themselves will cause the current to become too large. This has become a trend. In addition, high-capacity sealed batteries have been commercialized due to storage battery maintenance issues, but sealed batteries have a sealed structure and the hydrogen and oxygen generated by overcharging must be returned to water inside. For this reason, excessive overcharging that exceeds this capacity is dangerous due to an increase in internal pressure and shortens the life of the storage battery, and should be restricted. Further, although the above-mentioned phenomenon differs depending on the principle of the battery and the capacity of the battery, in any case, it is more limited than conventional batteries that can be maintained by refilling with water, and countermeasures are becoming necessary.
