Claim 6:
7. A neuromodulation system comprising:
a transmitting conductive structure configured to exchange power wirelessly via a wireless power transfer signal;
an implantable neurostimulator including:
a lossy housing;
a connector attached to a hole in the lossy housing;
one or more feedthroughs that pass through the connector;
an electronics module within the lossy housing and connected to the one or more feedthroughs;
a power supply within the lossy housing and connected to the electronics module; and
a receiving conductive structure disposed outside of the housing and connected to the power supply, wherein the receiving conductive structure is configured to exchange power wirelessly with the transmitting conductive structure via the wireless power transfer signal and deliver the power to the power supply,
wherein the receiving conductive structure is spaced a predetermined distance from the lossy housing; and
wherein the predetermined distance is determined based on: (i) a size constraint of a delivery mechanism for the neuromodulation system, (ii) a size of the lossy housing, (iii) an area of the receiving conductive structure, and (iv) a coupling factor between the receiving conductive structure and a transmitting conductive structure of greater than 0.5, and

a lead assembly including:
a lead body including a conductor material;
a lead connector that connects the conductor material to the one or more feedthroughs; and
one or more electrodes connected to the conductor material.
