prepositional phrases - Use/nonuse of articles in 'a state of residual charge of battery of a microphone at a...'


I know you put 'a', 'an', or 'the' for countable nouns.



But I sometimes see some phrases without the articles when they are supposed to be included.


For example,



a state of residual charge of battery of a microphone at a ..



I think that the battery is a countable noun so it should be like "a state of residual charge of a battery of a .."


But readability is much better without 'a' in front of the battery.


So my question is, do you omit articles when there are too many "of" in one sentence?
