An improved numerical model has been developed to project the capacities of Li/I/sub 2/ cardiac pacemaker batteries. The model uses accelerated rate discharge data, collected over a two year period, to project the capacities of batteries that will not be depleted in the field for approximately 8 years. Inclusion of new terms to account for self-discharge results in increased accuracy in this new model. Self-discharge is shown to be a small loss in the batteries modeled. 3 refs.
