Morphology

chargeless = charge (transparent) = charge + less

Formed by negating the noun 'charge' meaning stored electrical energy; the intended sense is directly conveyed.

Etymology

Chargeless comes from charge (here the 'electric power' that a battery holds) and -less meaning 'without'. So, when a device is chargeless it has 'no stored power' and will not work until it gets energy.
