A rechargeable-battery Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is disclosed including a primary battery which can be used as a back up to power critical loads in the IMD when the rechargeable battery is undervoltage and other non-critical loads are thus decoupled from the rechargeable battery. A rechargeable battery undervoltage detector provides at least one rechargeable battery undervoltage control signal to a power supply selector, which is used to set the power supply for the critical loads either to the rechargeable battery voltage when the rechargeable battery is not undervoltage, or to the primary battery voltage when the rechargeable battery is undervoltage. Circuitry for detecting the rechargeable battery undervoltage condition may be included as part of the critical loads, and so the undervoltage control signal(s) is reliably generated in a manner to additionally decouple the rechargeable battery from the load to prevent further rechargeable battery depletion.
