1. A method for managing power operating a wireless medical device, comprising:
- providing a charge to an intermediate power cell by electrically connecting the intermediate power cell to a power source;
disconnecting the intermediate power cell from the power source; and
electrically connecting the wireless medical device to the intermediate power cell, wherein the electrically connecting enables recharging of a power cell within the wireless medical device;
wherein said providing, disconnecting, and electrically connecting facilitate repeated operation of the wireless medical device to control at least one medical procedure via wireless signal transmissions from the wireless medical device, said wireless medical device comprising a footpedal component, said wireless signal transmissions from the wireless medical device to a medical device controller comprising footpedal component pitch and yaw control parameters and existing wireless medical device power cell power level.
