じゅうでんしき
noun, no-adjective
rechargeable; battery-powered
technicalelectronics
1. rechargeable; cordless; battery-powered
Describes a device that runs on a built-in battery which is recharged rather than replaced. Almost always used before a noun with の, or as a product-description label.
充電式(じゅうでんしき)電池(でんち)()った
I bought rechargeable batteries.
この掃除機(そうじき)充電式(じゅうでんしき)で、コードいらない
This vacuum cleaner is rechargeable, so it doesn't need a cord.
Rechargeable tools are convenient, but you should check how much battery is left before using them.

充電(じゅうでん) (charging) + (しき) (type, system). The (しき) suffix forms product-type labels, as in 電池式(でんちしき) (battery-operated) or 手動式(しゅどうしき) (manual).
