Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a battery charge of a work machine are described herein. The battery charge is maintained using a source of power (or other source) while the work machine also uses the source of power to power the work machine and the systems associated with the work machine. In instances in which the source of power may be removed for use by the work machine, a modification request may be used to change the battery from primary mode of operation, where the battery charge is maintained at a lower level to maintain the life of the battery, to a secondary mode of operation where the battery is charged to a high charge. The higher charge can be used to accommodate work machine operations while the battery is removed from the source of power. The battery can thereafter be returned to the primary mode of operation.
