Using the Charging System
The rechargeable Stimulator battery should provide at least five years of service. In many cases, the Stimulator battery
should provide at least 25 years of service. Battery life is dependent on the stimulation settings and conditions.
Over time and with repeated charging, the battery in the Stimulator will lose its ability to recover its full capacity. As a
result, over time, the Stimulator may require shorter intervals between charges. The Stimulator will need replacement
when stimulation can no longer be maintained with routine charging.
