One of the "evil GM options" used in second-hand cyberware (SSC), if I
recall correctly.

Anything requiring a datajack (chipjack/synthlink/etc) can rely on
outside power, the same way your telephone actually carries a small
charge (millivolt range).
Larger augments could use flywheels or chemical power; anything from a
diesel-powered cyberarm to a nearly biological muscle augmentation.
Bioelectric power might be something; or even using muscle power (each
step you take, a small charge is generated; a portion of which is
diverted to a power cell) or even gravity (stand up, sit down, and
presto! your gear is recharged). The body's probably the cheapest and
most available source of power, after all.
