Those batteries may be rechargeable so you should contact the manufacturer with the info inside the booklet which was given to you after the procedure. If those batteries are not rechargeable the whole unit can be replaced. You should have it done because the device was relatively effective.

Contact an anesthesiologist who specializes in pain management. Newer battery packs are available, and updating of these spinal cord stimulators are relatively routine.
