Abstract
A pulsed energy coupling system for transferring energy from a detachable power source to a pulse generator module of an electromedical device. Periodically energy is transferred through coupling members to an energy storage device in the pulse generator module. Leakage current losses between coupling members at different electrical potentials is minimized by maintaining coupling members at the same potential during the time intervals between energy transfers. Energy transfers are triggered and effected either at independent, fixed intervals or as energy necessary to power the pulse generator module is dissipated from the energy storage device.
