Abstract
A capacity estimator determines a total maximum allowable power storage capacity for a work vehicle. A timer times the operating time of the work vehicle in an electrically propelled mode. A load manager, a driver or both decrease the available power to at least one of a drive motor of the work vehicle and an ancillary load over the operating time to conserve the available power stored for operating at least one critical work vehicle.
