However, Greatbatch’s device had problems. It was sealed
with electrical tape, so body fluids caused it to malfunction after
a few hours. “The warm moist environment of the human
body
proved a far more hostile environment than outer space or the
bottom of the sea,” Greatbatch wrote. So he worked to cast the
electronics in solid epoxy to make them more impervious, thus
increasing their life span to four months. With no external funding,
and splitting his time between Chardack’s crowded lab
and a small workshop in the barn behind
his house,
Greatbatch

Greatbatch invented
the first long-lasting
lithium battery, still in use today.
