However, the above-mentioned frequency is set based on the so-called physical electron conduction characteristic, which does not match the characteristic of the actual secondary battery. This is because the charge and discharge of the secondary battery is not a physical property that shows the movement of electrons in the metal, but is performed by a chemical reaction. Therefore, the resistance value obtained by the conventional measurement method and the battery capacity corresponding thereto do not match the actual battery capacity of the secondary battery, and there is a problem that the battery capacity cannot be accurately confirmed and grasped.
