As I've never understood the precise physics of E-space, it wasn't
completely obvious to me that the Tardis couldn't receive its power
from Gallifrey, even though it was in a different universe. In any
case, maybe the Tardis has batteries (Type 40, perhaps?).

Actually, that isn't an entirely silly idea. One might hypothesise
that there are ''accumulators'' under the console. When it is possible,
the accumulators are recharged (automatically). Perhaps these accumulators
store enough power to last one for an extended stay in E-space.

Or perhaps this is another instance of poor continuity on the part of
the writers.
