An exemplary system for providing power to a rechargeable battery in an
implantable stimulator includes a first coil configured to emit a first
magnetic field, a coil in the stimulator configured to receive the first
magnetic field, and a zero volt recovery (ZVR) circuit in the stimulator
configured to use the first magnetic field to cause the coil in the
stimulator to be tuned to a frequency of a second magnetic field. The
second magnetic field is used to provide the power to recharge the
battery. An exemplary method of providing power to recharge a battery in
an implantable stimulator includes transmitting a first magnetic field
used to provide the power to recharge the battery, transmitting a second
magnetic field; and using the second magnetic field to cause a coil in
the stimulator to be tuned to a frequency of the first magnetic field.
