The power source of The Doctors’s TARDIS is known, but is there any canon evidence for what powers his/her sonic screwdriver?
They’ve shown The Doctor charge the TARDIS on multiple occasions, but I don’t recall them ever showing the sonic screwdriver being charged or anything. Maybe it's because The Doctor goes through them too quickly?

@TheLethalCarrot general answer would be preferable on the assumption that they’re all powered using the same technology.

@Notts90 - I'm pretty sure that the software is noted to be identical, but not the hardware. Of course, they might all have the same type of power source given that they're all based on the same "sonic" tech

There's a charger slot for the sonic in the TARDIS console.
At least in the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors' TARDISes.
In the 2013 Christmas special "Time of the Doctor" (emphasis mine):
DOCTOR: A question only I could answer. A truth field to make sure I'm not lying. If I give my name, they'll know they've found the right place and that it's safe to come through.
CLARA: The Time Lords? Okay, so what then? If you answer the question and they come back, what happens?
(The Doctor gives Clara a short round device.)
DOCTOR: Er, you need to take this to the Tardis and put it in the charger slot for the sonic.
CLARA: Why?
DOCTOR: Hell. All hell, that's what happens if the Time Lords come back. There's half a universe up there already, waiting to open fire. Now please, go to the Tardis and just do as I say.
(Clara runs.)And in the Series 9 finale "Hell Bent", we see the sonic materialise in its charger slot before flying into the Doctor's hand:

It's powered by batteries. Occasionally these run down.

and
‘Is it just me,’ said Flowers, ‘or is the light getting fainter?’ She shook the sonic screwdriver, clamped tight in her clammy hand.
The Doctor rolled back on to his stomach. ‘Battery’s running down.
