A storage control unit for a storage system includes a first storage controller. The first storage controller includes: first voltage detection terminals that is connected to voltage detection lines respectively connected to first storage units, via switches; a first voltage detection circuit that is connected to each of the first voltage detection terminals and that detects a first voltage of each of the first storage units via each of the first voltage detection lines; a first voltage input terminal that a second voltage of each of second storage units that are different from the first storage units is input to; and a first voltage output terminal that is connected to the first voltage detection terminals via switches. The first voltage detection circuit is further connected to the first voltage input terminal and detects the second voltage via the first voltage input terminal.
