Abstract
A form for retaining a battery in implantable medical device includes outer edge and first and second opposing major surfaces. The first major surface of the form includes a recess, a ridge disposed between the recess and the outer edge, and a trough forming element disposed between the ridge and the outer edge. The ridge is configured to engage at least a portion of a major surface of the battery retained in the form. The trough forming element has first and second edge surfaces positioned to engage an edge surface of the retained battery to form a trough configured to receive adhesive. The recess is disposed adjacent the ridge and is configured to allow for expansion of the retained battery during recharge. The retention assembly is configured to secure the first major surface of the battery against the ridge to prevent adhesive from leaking from the trough into the recess.
