At Boston Scientific, we're proud of the battery we developed that powers our DBS System, and we stand behind it 100%. Let's set the record staright about our battery.

The DBS Battery That Lets You Have It All

Gives your physician programming options for managing Parkinson's disease as it progresses.
Less risk of repeat surgeries with a rechargeable battery lasting at least 15 years.*
Battery charging as little as once a month¹

We Help You Avoid Risky Battery Replacement Surgeries.
Why Does This Matter?

The infection rate for patients undergoing battery replacement surgery is three times higher when compared to patients undergoing a primary procedure.⁴

Our Battery Comes With a 15-Year Warranty

The Vercise Gevia DBS battery is warranted for 15 years. Some batteries lose strength over time and require more frequent charging. But the Vercise Gevia DBS battery contains a proprietary lithium ion Zero Volt^™ technology that keeps the battery going strong. In fact, after 15 years of use, our battery is still going strong-operating at 90% of its capacity. That's why we can afford to give it such a powerful warranty.

Real Patients Share The Charging Routine That Works Best For Them**

— Peter V., Implanted 2012

“When I was first implanted, I was re-charging once every two weeks. It has been 6 years since my surgery, and today I am re-charging once every two weeks.”

— Lisa G., Implanted April 2019

“5 minutes [of charging] … twice a week at most. It’s simple as pie.”

At standard settings, the Vercise Gevia^™ DBS typically has to be charged once a month¹, but many people prefer to make it a routine to change for an hour a week while watching TV or relaxing.
