  • Patent number: 10570584
    Abstract: A work machine includes an engine, a motor-generator, a battery, a power detector, a temperature detector, and circuitry. The engine is to move the work machine. The motor-generator is to move the work machine and to generate electric power. The battery is to store the electric power generated by the motor-generator. The power detector is to detect a charge level of the electric power stored in the battery. The temperature detector is to detect a temperature of the battery. The circuitry is configured to control the motor-generator in accordance with the charge level selectively to move the work machine or to generate electric power when the temperature of the battery detected by the temperature detector is within a temperature range.
