SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF TASKS PERFORMED BY A HEAVY MACHINE

Methods and systems for monitoring battery consumption for a heavy machine such as used in mining, construction, agriculture, and/or industrial applications is provided. The system for reporting a state of charge of a heavy machine has a sensor or input device determining a start and an end of a task; a battery monitor coupled to a battery, the battery monitor measuring a battery charge in the battery; a display; and a processor coupled to the display, the sensor or the input device, and to the battery monitor. The processor or method may determine a change in the battery charge used by the heavy machine between the start and the end of the task to provide a task charge; determine a number of remaining tasks from the battery charge and the task charge; and present the number of remaining tasks on the display.
