A shovel includes: an engine generating a drive power; a generator performing a generating operation using the drive power transmitted from the engine; an electric accumulator having a plurality of electric storage cells in which an electric power generated by the generator is accumulated, the electric accumulator supplying an electric power to an electric load of the shovel; and an equalizing circuit provided to each of the electric storage cells and including a discharge resistor and a switching circuit in order to equalize capacitances of the electric storage cells. A determination is made as to whether to activate the equalizing circuit based on a variation in outputs of the electric storage cells.
