Aha! I've got it. It drains the accumulators to match the demand rate, even if you already have any power sources still online - those are entirely ignored. So this only works if you have no other power on the network, else it is inefficient. This is entirely the other way around than using them as buildings - they only discharge when needed. I suspect what they have done is code it slightly the wrong way around and it does discharge the building version... but then charges it up again from the network surplus so you never notice, but when they are in the exchanger they can only do one thing, so discharge before the rest of the network is taken into account. |
