BATTERY MONITORING APPARATUS

A battery monitoring apparatus includes a battery ECU, a plurality of voltage monitors, and a wireless device. The wireless device contains a main unit disposed to the battery ECU and sub units disposed to the corresponding voltage monitors. In response to establishment of communication connection of wireless communication between the main unit and the sub units, the main unit wirelessly transmits a command by the battery ECU to the sub units, and the sub units wirelessly transmit voltage information detected by the voltage monitors to the main unit. The wireless device acquires voltage monitor information prior to establishment of initial communication connection, and establishes communication connection based on the voltage monitor information. The battery ECU or each voltage monitor is provided with a storage unit configured to store voltage monitor information. At re-connection, the wireless device performs communication re-connection using the voltage monitor information stored in the storage unit.
