ABSTRACT:
Implantable medical device adapted to provide a therapeutic output to a patient. A therapy module, operatively coupled to a battery, is adapted to provide the therapeutic output. A control circuit provides an action indicative of recharging the battery when the voltage of the battery reaches a recharge voltage wherein the recharge voltage is varied as the battery ages. Also a method of providing a therapeutic output to a patient using an implantable medical device having a battery having a voltage. An action indicative of recharging the battery is provided when the voltage of the battery reaches a recharge voltage. The recharge voltage is varied as the battery ages.
