low battery symptons

This is my 3rd CID. I was informed that I have 2 months left on battery. At one of my CID check, I was told that if I feel like crap, get in. The things that I am experiencing are not normal to me. Even though I was told the battery is still good, I know there is something not quite right.

battery life

Usually it's a range, they can't predict exactly when it will go, so 2 months could be a few weeks up to a few months. It looks like you are ERI (elective replacement) now and they are waiting for you to be EOL (end of life) before replacing it. Do you pace often? The first sign it's switched modes is it will pace at a steady rate, usually 60, rather than being fully responsive and going up as needed. I pace every beat so I'd know immediately if it switched modes.If your rate goes up on its own and you just pace occasionally, or if you have the ICD for safety rather than pacing, then you may not feel the difference. It is fully functional up until that mode change at the very end so it will feel the same.
