The ENDURALIFE battery technology (Boston Scientific) is designed to extend the battery life of Boston Scientific cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillator (CRT‑D) devices. CRT‑Ds are a treatment option for heart failure and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. ENDURALIFE battery technology uses a lithium manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery chemistry, which is claimed to be less susceptible to the variations in voltage and resistance associated with early battery depletion. CRT‑Ds with ENDURALIFE battery technology are also claimed to use less current than other CRT‑Ds.
