1. A power source maintenance and charge system and package comprising:
- a plastic blister package including a base or tray, and an enclosure or blister cover fixed on said base or tray;
charge maintenance circuitry mounted on said base or tray outside of said enclosure or cover for maintaining a desired charge on, and for charging, a special power source of an implantable medical device in said package;
control means mounted on said base or tray outside of said enclosure or cover for actuating and de-actuating said charge maintenance circuitry; and
coupling means for coupling said charge maintenance circuitry to the special power source including a polymer insulated flat ribbon cable that passes into said enclosure or cover through a wall of said enclosure or between said wall and said base or tray of said plastic package containing the device to connect an auxiliary power source, mounted on said base or tray outside of said enclosure or cover and coupled to said charge maintenance circuitry, to the special power source of the device.
