Abstract:
1. A machine, comprising: a power system, including power-system controls, including receive information related to at least one operating parameter of the power system, wherein the information related to at least one operating parameter of the power system includes information related to a state of charge of the first electrical energy storage device, and control the first power regulator based on the received information, including selectively controlling the first power regulator to receive electricity from the second electrical energy storage device and supply the electricity to the first electrical energy storage device, wherein the at least one information processor is configured to automatically respond to first operating conditions by causing supply of electricity from the power line to the first electrical energy storage device to partially charge the first electrical energy storage device; and subsequently, controlling the first power regulator to receive electricity from the second electrical energy storage device and supply the electricity to the first electrical energy storage device to finish charging the first electrical energy storage device.
