Micro-power cells were a type of power cell.
Characteristics
Micro-power cells were smaller than typical power cells, typically held less power, and were used when size was a factor. Micro-power cells were used in microscopic nanokiller tech; as long as the nanokiller particles were exposed to enough ambient light, they could recharge their micro-power cells every few days.
History
The Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn used micro-power cells to enable more control over his lightsaber's charge levels.
