RE: GURPS High-Tech, GURPS Ultra-Tech

Starting at TL9, devices use standardized power cells. Prior to TL9, devices use batteries, which are standardized for game purposes.

How do you deal with technologies that are developed in the high-tech era and are listed in High-Tech with batteries when you're playing in an ultra-tech setting that uses power cells, but where the older technology hasn't been supplanted?

For example, if the foo emerges in TL6, uses two Small batteries at TL6, and only undergoes quality improvements since then, what kind of power cell and how many should a foo be using in TL10?
