Abstract

Implanted nerve stimulation offers many advantages to improve the QOL (quality of life) of the patients suffering from nervous system diseases such as Parkinson´s disease and epilepsy. Secondary battery begins to be used instead of primary secondary, service life of the implanted device is extended and the device becomes smaller and lighter. For charging the secondary battery fit in the body, a transcutaneous charger is designed. Two coupling coils designed specially are used to transmit and receive energy. With the mentioned coupling coils, the charger attains 15 mA charge current and the charge requirement is satisfied
