1. A surgical attachment, comprising:
- a surgical tool;
an actuator configured to drive the surgical tool; and
a power cell for providing electrical power to the actuator, the power cell being configured to accumulate stored electrical energy during an idle state of the actuator and to discharge at least a portion of the stored energy to power the actuator during a peak load of the actuator.
