1. A method for supplying power to a wireless medical device, comprising: determining the operating mode of the wireless medical device, wherein the operating mode of the medical device includes a charging mode, a wired operation mode and a wireless operation mode;selecting, based upon the determined operating mode, the source of direct current power for the wireless medical device,wherein the selected source of direct current power for the wireless medical device is a physical cable from a base unit if the wireless medical device is in the wired operation mode,wherein the selected source of direct current power for the wireless medical device is one or more power cells contained in the wireless medical device if the medical device is in the wireless operation mode;supplying the selected source of the direct current power to the wireless medical device; andcharging, based upon the determined operating mode of the wireless medical device, one or more power cells,wherein the one or more power cells contained in the wireless medical device are charged if the wireless medical device is in the charging mode,wherein the one or more power cells comprise a secondary power source contained within a second base unit and are charged if the wireless medical device is in the wired operation mode or the wireless operation mode. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the charging further comprises recharging one or more wireless medical device power cells using the secondary power source when the wireless medical device is in direct contact with the second base unit. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the charging further comprises recharging the one or more power cells in the wireless medical device when a fixed alternating current power source is unavailable. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the charging further comprises an inductive coupling to transfer energy from the secondary power source to the one or more power cells in the wireless medical device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected source of direct current power is a fixed cable providing direct current to the wireless medical device from a fixed external alternating current line power source if the wireless medical device is in the wired operation mode. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein supplying further comprises providing direct current to the one or more power cells of the wireless medical device for the purposes of recharging the one or more power cells. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the charging further comprises: providing a charge to a secondary power source by electrical connection to direct current;disconnecting the secondary power source from the direct current; andelectrically connecting the wireless medical device to the secondary power source, wherein the step of electrically connecting enables recharging of the one or more power cells. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: monitoring the status of at least one of the one or more power cells contained in the wireless medical device;reporting a status of the one or more power cells, said reporting indicating a current condition of the one or more power cells; andalerting a user when advisable to recharge the one or more power cells in the wireless medical device. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein reporting comprises providing at least one of a visible signal and an audible signal informing a user of power cell status. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein reporting comprises providing at least one of a visible signal and an audible signal informing a user that power cells require recharging. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein providing the charge to the secondary power source comprises controlling current to flow from the connection to direct current through a controller to the secondary power source. 12. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of electrically connecting the wireless medical device to the secondary power source enables inductive transfer of current using a charge controller to the wireless medical device. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the second base unit further comprises a charging cradle, and the wireless medical device is fitted within the charging cradle to recharge the one or more power cells. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said charging cradle further comprises a primary inductive coupler and a fixed alternating current power source. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein said communications network employs a wireless communications protocol and the method includes transmitting a plurality of observed power management parameters between the wireless medical device and the base unit. 16. The method of any of claim 13, wherein the base unit further comprises a communications network, and the method includes transmitting information by a transmitter in the wireless medical device and receiving the information by the communications network. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said charging cradle further comprises a primary inductive coupler and a fixed alternating current power source. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the base unit is an intermediate power source.
