@colleenyoung it actually depends on the model. Abbott has various models, one that does not need recharging and one that does. I have the type that I need to recharge. I know someone who does not need to recharge his.

Right. I've been told that Abbott's premium XR does not need to be recharged. I've been told they have two models, the larger battery lasts for 7 years and a slightly smaller last for 5 years. I'm told they are guarenteed for 5 years and they make it sound simple to change the battery after it dies. I spoke to a nurse yesterday who had one put in about a year and a half ago. She had chronic pain in her foot and leg from 2 prior surgeries and then a car accident. and she got about 90% pain relief. No charging. She would recommend the Abbott.
