Claim 13:
14. A computer implemented method, comprising:
under control of one or more processors, configured with specific executable instructions, utilizing a battery to supply energy to circuitry and the one or more processors in connection with performing tasks in connection with at least one of i) collecting signals indicative of physiologic activity, ii) analyzing the signals collected, iii) delivering a therapy, or iv) communicating with an external device;
directing a monitoring circuit to measure an actual energy usage from the battery, the actual energy usage representing at least one of a current draw from the battery during the corresponding tasks or a voltage measurement across the battery;
calculating a projected energy usage from the battery in connection with the corresponding tasks; and
determining when an early battery depletion (EBD) condition exists based on the projected energy usage and the actual energy usage.
