About EnduraLife Battery Technology
Battery longevity without sacrificing performance
- Capacity — 1.9 Amp-hours of usable battery capacity - highest in the industry1
- Chemistry – Lithium manganese dioxide maintains voltage and resistance stability for battery reliability
- Efficiency — Up to 8% smaller and 24% thinner devices2
Minimizing risks
Longer lasting battery means fewer replacements and reduced risks.3
Reducing costs
Fewer device replacements means reduced cost for patients, payers, and the healthcare system.4
Performance
EnduraLife Battery Technology works for up to 13.2 years, outlasting the competition.*
Physician perspective on device longevity
Clinical Data
Outlasting the competition
Devices with EnduraLife Battery Technology are lasting longer than comparable devices from both Medtronic and Abbott, as shown in nine independent clinical studies with over 11,314 patients. 5-13
CRT-D survival data
Clinically proven over time
Since 2008, Boston Scientific EnduraLife batteries continue to show impressive longevity.

Device Longevity in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Differs Between Manufacturers: Data from the Danish ICD Registry. Presented at HRS 2014. http://ondemand.hrsonline.org/common/presentation-detail.aspx/15/35/1241/9000. Boston Scientific = 136 patients, Medtronic = 6 51 patients, St. Jude Medical = 1,587 patients, Bitronik = 369 patients. Time to exchange of the device because of battery depletion or device failure recorded in the Danish ICD Registry was the endpoint. The four-year survival rate for devices in the Danish Registry study was 81.1% for Medtronic and 95.7% for Boston Scientific (P<0.01).
