Lithium ion battery was applied to the running of variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) inverter‐type railcar. A 15 kWh of Mn‐type lithium ion battery was used. The relation between running time and voltage, current and integrating watt was investigated. The running test was also carried out using VVVF inverter‐type railcar to investigate charge performance due to regenerative energy. Lithium ion battery module was quickly charged for three times at rate of 4.68 C by regenerative braking system. It was estimated that the effect of energy saving was about 22% by the charge of lithium ion battery from regenerative energy. Copyright © 2009 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
