Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid construction machine that can quickly warm up an electrical storage device and can improve the service life of the electrical storage device. This hybrid construction machine is equipped with: a prime mover (1); an electric motor that supplements the power of the prime mover (1) and generates electric power; an electrical storage device (8) that transmits power to and receives power from the electric motor; a warm-up circuit (25) that circulates a heating medium heated by waste heat from the prime mover (1) or the electric motor, or by a heater (40), to the vicinity of the electrical storage device (8); a control device that controls charging/discharging of the electrical storage device (8) and circulation of the heating medium of the warm-up circuit (25); and an outside air temperature measurement device that measures the outside air temperature. The control device executes warm-up operation by means of the heating medium, determines whether or not to execute charging/discharging of the electrical storage device (8) for the purpose of the warm-up operation in response to the outside air temperature measured by the outside air temperature measurement device, and conducts warm-up operation in which the warm-up operation by charging/discharging of the electrical storage device (8) is effected simultaneously.
