title: The 6 volt battery for implantable cardioverter/defibrillators.
abstract: The usage of a 6 V lithium manganese dioxide battery results in a significant reduction of capacitor loading time within implantable defibrillators/cardioverters. In order to provide ERI indication a new cathode formulation has been developed. The battery shows no voltage delays, a low self-discharge and fulfilled all requirements to an energy source for an implantable device.
