Abstract: A power management system for a power supply (43) providing power to electrical equipment, such as a totally implantable prosthetic hearing implant (40). The power supply (43) can comprise a first rechargeable battery and at least one further rechargeable battery that each independently provide power to the implant (40) through a switching means. The management system comprises a management means for controlling the operation of the switching means to place the system in a first state where the implant (40) can draw power from only the first battery or at least in a further state where the implant (40) can draw power from only said at least one further battery.

Abstract: A method of controlling charging of a battery (16) of a totally implantable auditory prosthesis and a control system (50) therefor. The method comprises determining a first charge related characteristic of the battery (16) such as the predetermined minimum amount of charge (58), and a second charge related battery characteristic such as the preset charge level or charge rate of the battery (16). The method further comprises detecting when a charge cycle of the battery (16) commences and monitoring where the charge level of the battery (16) is in relation to the first charge related battery characteristic when the charge cycle commences and adjusting the second charge related battery characteristic depending on the relationship between the charge level and the first charge related battery characteristic at the commencement of the charge cycle. The control system and method has the potential to increase the operational life of the battery (16).

Abstract translation: 一种控制完全可植入的听觉假体的电池（16）的充电的方法和用于其的控制系统（50）。 该方法包括确定电池（16）的第一充电相关特性，例如预定的最小充电量（58），以及第二充电相关电池特性，例如电池（16）的预设充电水平或充电速率。 该方法还包括当充电周期开始时，检测电池（16）的充电周期何时开始并监视电池（16）的充电水平相对于第一充电相关电池特性的位置，并且调整第二充电相关电池 特性取决于在充电周期开始时充电水平与第一充电相关电池特性之间的关系。 控制系统和方法具有增加电池（16）的使用寿命的潜力。
