    Abstract: A system includes harvester circuitry configured to charge a battery for a medical device using a displacement of a harvester mass, one or more accelerometers configured to detect a motion associated with the harvester mass, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, with the one or more accelerometers, motion information for the implanted medical device during a time range that occurs when the harvester circuitry charges the battery using the displacement of the harvester mass. The processing circuitry are further configured to determine a harvester output generated by the harvester circuitry during the time range and output an indication of a potential failure of the harvester mechanism based on the motion information and the harvester output.
