Classification: CPC E  B  H | IPC B  E  H

Claim 18:
19. A mobile work machine, comprising:
a ground engaging element;
a battery having a steady state regeneration energy capacity defining a first rate at which the battery can continuously receive regeneration energy, generated by the electric motor, and a power surge capacity defining a second rate at which the battery can temporarily receive regeneration energy, generated by the electric motor, the second rate greater than the first rate;
an electric motor that drives the ground engaging element;
a transmission, the motor driving the ground engaging element through the transmission;
a surge capacity detector that detects a variable indicative of the power surge capacity of the battery and generates a surge energy capacity indicator based on the detected variable; and
a charging control system that controls the application of regeneration energy, generated by the electric motor, to the battery based on the power surge capacity indicator.
