Rechargeable batteries weren't really a thing in the 70's. For consumer electrical devices, batteries were one use, and anything that plugged in needed to stay plugged in while in operation.

Big advances in battery chemistry made things like cordless phones feasible by the 80's, and all sorts of rechargeable devices in the 90's.
