する。The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The memory unit 1 is provided with a secondary battery 2 for backing up data, a charging unit 3 for charging the secondary battery 2, and a power supply unit 5 for converting into a power supply necessary for the apparatus. The remaining amount detector 7
The voltage from the secondary battery 2 supplied to the memory unit 1 is constantly monitored. In order to constantly monitor the voltage, the remaining amount detecting unit 7 is operated by electricity from the secondary battery 2 even when the power of the device is off. Therefore, in detecting the remaining amount of the secondary battery 2, it is determined that the remaining amount is insufficient and the secondary battery 2 can be charged at a voltage higher than the voltage at which the remaining amount detector 7 can operate normally.
