Original Abstract Submitted

An excavating machine can conduct an excavation cycle that can be distinguished in a plurality of work cycle segments. To maneuver an excavation tool with respect the work surface during the excavation cycle, the excavation machine includes an excavation linkage powered by a primary electrical power source. The excavation machine can be operatively associated with a battery management system that can identify a high load condition associated with the excavation cycle and can responsively connect an auxiliary electrical power source to the hydraulic system to delivery supplemental power during the high load condition.
