It says one of the main concerns about this sort of stuff is the low battery life.. the technology of wireless-charging an electronic device already exists, I think they should be able to solve this quite soon. AUGS 4 EVERYONE

Unfortunately, yes.
Better would be, if the heart could use the body's energy to operate.
Or at least, place the accumulator inside too and add an external connector for loading them.
So, every night you plug yourself to the socket. 8-[

So one might die if they plug the mobile phone in the only free socket before bed time....oops wrong plug!!

Maybe a Kinetic charge would be better. Or Heat Transfer Charge if ever perfected.
