-*Placing a single accumulator building on a planet will let you use the Statistics Panel's Power tab to see if the planet's power grid ever dropped below 100% satisfaction -- alerting you to the issue.  If satisfaction remains 100% then the accumulator will fully charge and never show any discharge.  If power production falls below power demand the accumulator will discharge which will show up an blue spike on the Real-time battery data chart - and you can adjust the charge timespan to see if there was ever a problem.  (Note: this trick only works if you're not shipping full accumulators in to power the planet's grid)
+*Placing Acculumators on a planet, even just a single one, will allow the player to use the Statistics Panel to determine if the power grid's load ever exceeds the amount of power generated. In the Power tab, keep an eye on the '''Real-Time Battery Data''' graph. If the power grid's satisfaction is 100%, the Accumulator will fully charge and never discharge. However, the moment satisfaction drops below 100%, the Accumulator will begin discharging. This discharge will show up in the battery data graph as a blue spike, showing the player exactly when the grid was not fully satisfied. Keep in mind that this trick will ''not'' work if the planet is powered by Energy Exchangers, as these will be constantly discharging and thus the single Accumulator's power spike will likely not be significant enough to be visible.<br />
