Abstract
A work machine comprises of a cab, a battery, an auxiliary operations system, a cab occupant sensor and a controller. The auxiliary operations system is operatively coupled to the battery. The cab occupant sensor is operable to sense data associated with an occupancy of the cab by an operator. The control is communicatively coupled to the cab occupant sensor and comprises of a processor, and a memory having a power conserving algorithm thereon. The processor is operable to execute a power conserving algorithm to identify a cab inoccupancy condition from data related to an occupancy of the cab, and automatically initiates a low power mode by derating the auxiliary operations system a first degree when the cab inoccupancy condition is fulfilled.
