1. A selecting device configured to select a combination of a plurality of secondary batteries that is used in a facility of a user, the selecting device comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire (A) period information about a period of time desired by the user for which the combination is used in the facility, (B) facility consumption information about power consumption of the facility, and (C) output information including information of current peak power and information about a temporal change of future peak power of each secondary battery in a secondary battery group that becomes a candidate for the combination; and
an output unit configured to select, from the secondary battery group, one or more of the combinations, which is capable of supplying electrical power corresponding to power consumption of the facility longer than the period of time and satisfy a predetermined condition corresponding to that a degree of decrease in peak power following elapse of the period of time is relatively great, based on the period information, the facility consumption information and the output information, and to output information of the one or more of the combinations.
