1. A computer-implemented process of evaluating a battery state comprising:
collecting, by a battery monitor that is coupled to an industrial vehicle battery, samples that represent a measure of a magnitude of a current discharged from the industrial vehicle battery during use of a corresponding industrial vehicle, wherein the battery monitor has at least one sensor to sample battery current; sorting, by a processor, collected samples into corresponding bins based upon the magnitude of the collected current samples, wherein the corresponding bins are stored in memory that is accessible by the processor; creating, by the processor, a battery use estimate based upon a number of samples sorted into the corresponding bins; determining, by the processor, for each of the corresponding bins, a fractional depletion contribution of the industrial vehicle battery by computing a quotient where the quotient is computed by dividing a lifetime expected estimate for that bin by the battery use estimate for that bin; generating, by the processor, a depletion estimate associated with the battery state based upon an accumulation of the fractional depletion contributions; and outputting a measure of the battery state based upon the generated depletion estimate. |
