Link: The Bionic Human: Medical Devices And How They Are Powered
"It has been over 35 years since the first human implant of a lithium battery; a lithium/iodine call which powered an implantable cardiac pacemaker. Several battery types have been developed and used successfully in a diverse set of implantable medical devices. The cells used in these devices vary, but there are general requirements that remain constant for all the cells, including: safety, reliability, low weight/small size, predictability of performance, low self discharge and end-of-life indication. Esther Takeuchi discusses these parameters along with key device performance factors. ", as contributed by Arlind at Thoughtware.TV
