1. An external power transmitter of an implanted medical device system, the external power transmitter comprising processing circuitry configured to:
cause display of messages to a patient to enable the patient to schedule a later time to perform conditioning of a battery of an internal controller implanted in the patient;
receive input from the patient that selects a scheduled a time to perform the conditioning; and
cause the internal controller to perform the conditioning at the scheduled time.
