1. A battery cooling system to be applied to a vehicle, the battery cooling system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories communicably coupled to the one or more processors, wherein
the one or more processors are configured to
execute a temperature acquisition process of acquiring a temperature of a battery mounted on the vehicle,
execute an output control process of making a comparison of the temperature of the battery acquired by the temperature acquisition process with a predetermined threshold, and controlling, in accordance with a result of the comparison, a cooling capacity of a cooling fan configured to cool the battery,
execute an open or closed state recognition process of recognizing an open or closed state of a window openable and closable and provided in the vehicle, and,
in executing the output control process, use different thresholds as the predetermined threshold to change the cooling capacity of the cooling fan, in response to the open or closed state of the window being recognized by the open or closed state recognition process.
