Wow! You're getting one that allows you to get an MRI, how wonderful! Boy, technology really does move right along.
You brought up a good question regarding replacing the battery and whether or not it will be compatible with the older generation electrodes.

Mark I have paddles with 20 contacts. Two of the contacts were down in the thoracic. I'm not sure that that means. They programmed around them.

It is my understanding that paddles take longer to recover, but are better in the long run.
