Battery causes connected power shaft animation even if there is no power usage in network

it seams that the battery animates even when noting is connected to it

if there is a paused building and it is connected to a gravity battery it makes the power shaft between them spin for no reason

Power shafts will spin when they are indirectly connected to a gravity battery, but there is no demand or power-demanding buildings in the network.

When a power distribution network has a gravity battery connected, the gears will animate even if no power is actually being drawn (such as at night) and no other turbines are active (zero wind a/o drought).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chain of "Power Shaft Intersection" structures that are NOT connected to any power source.
2. Note, that the animation is static. Nothing is rotating (expected).
3. Build a "Gravity Battery" structure that is attached to the chain, but not to any working power source.

Expected:
1. Since the battery is a passive source, the connectors should not animate "rotation" until the assembly is connected to the network.

Observed:
1. All the connections that are attached to the battery show the "moving animation" which implies the energy is being transferred, which is not the case.
