Unrivaled Battery Chemistry Performance

Our Overdrive™ battery technology has a proprietary chemistry compared with SCS competitor batteries that are based on conventional Li ion chemistry. Our design allows for rapid recharge with minimal impact to the battery capacity at 9 years of use even with full discharge.

Under daily, empty-to-full charge and discharge testing:

  • Medtronic’s Intellis™ Overdrive™ battery technology maintained 95% of the original capacity at 9 years and 3,200 cycles.1,2
  • The tested Competitor X spinal cord stimulators lost 30% of the capacity after only 3 years and 1,000 cycles.1,2
  • The Intellis™ devices can be recharged in ~1 hour from empty to full vs. up to 4 hours with the tested Competitor X devices.

Thus, patients will have a more consistent recharge interval and faster recharge experience, even under the most aggressive stimulation conditions.
