A cell balancing device comprises: a capacity adjustment circuit including a plurality of pairs of series-connected switch elements and resistors connected in parallel with respective battery cells, and configured to adjust respective capacities of the battery cells; a processor; and a watchdog unit configured to monitor the processor, and reset the processor in the case where the processor is abnormal. The processor is configured to: transition to a sleep state when an ignition of a vehicle is turned off, and, in the sleep state, control the switch elements to adjust the capacities of the battery cells; and, when adjusting the capacities of the battery cells, limit the number of simultaneously discharged battery cells to a predetermined number so that a current flowing to the processor is less than a predetermined value.
