1. A spinal cord stimulation device comprising:

  • an implantable pulse generator comprising;

    a circuit assembly housed in the casing, the circuit assembly including and operably interconnected with a plurality of output capacitors, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a microcontroller;

    at least one rechargeable implantable grade lithium ion battery housed in the casing and operably connected with the circuit board and configured to be inductively charged by a Constant Current, Constant Voltage type of regulation;

    a charging circuit operably connected with the at least one battery housed in the casing and with the ASIC of the circuit board, the charging circuit having a secondary charging coil, at least one capacitor, at least one resistor, a voltage regulator and a voltage doubler full wave rectifier configured to convert an induced AC voltage into usable DC voltage under power management control by the ASIC;

    an external charger comprising;

    a primary charging coil;

    at least one battery; and

    a circuit board operably connected with the primary coil and the at least one rechargeable battery,wherein the at least one rechargeable battery in the implantable pulse generator is recharged using transcutaneous power transmissions between the primary charging coil and the secondary charging coil.
