To provide a cell balance circuit and a cell balance apparatus with a low cost and with a compact size, and configured to equalize the charge voltages of rechargeable batteries when the rechargeable batteries are charged or discharged, while suppressing deterioration of the rechargeable batteries. A cell balance circuit AA includes a transformer T, a switch SW1 arranged so as to form a set with a rechargeable battery BT1, and a switch SW2 arranged so as to form a set with a rechargeable battery BT2. The transformer T includes a primary winding Wa arranged so as to form a set with the rechargeable battery BT1, and a secondary winding Wb arranged so as to form a set with the rechargeable battery BT2. When the rechargeable batteries BT1 and BT2 are charged or discharged, the cell balance circuit AA synchronously controls the switches SW1 and SW2.
