Abstract :
Many current implantable devices require large capacity batteries implanted in the body. In this paper we present a new approach of transcutaneous battery recharging by volume conduction and its circuit model. We also analyze the current transmitting efficiency and rechargeable prerequisite of transcutaneous battery recharging by applying this circuit model. The experiments prove the legitimacy of the circuit model.
