Battery for brakes?

Do some cars have batteries for brakes? I was watching Rick Sanchez on CNN and said the dealer replaced the battery for his brakes on his car. Did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything.

back up battery for the ABS controller? incase if your main battery cuts out and alternator dies at least you'll have ABS?
