Hi @terrinic, welcome to the community.

I have moved the post over to the Disability aids and equipment category to help you get an answer. The Dealing with chronic pain discussion group might also be good for you to have a look at.

Here is a website that has some information about charging systems and safety precautions. Let me know if this helps!

Hi @terrinic

I would suggest that you contact the team that fitted your SCS about any concerns you may have. Normally I would expect that people would have been sent home with advice information that includes the details of who to contact if they have any concerns about the device.

Hope you get the answers that you need.

Best Wishes

Jean
